Is it possible to turn of backend health checks?

Hi, I'm fairly new to pound but it looks ideal to me..

I'm trying to get pound v1.9 to decrypt SSL to a local IP address and 
then use HaProxy to load balance those requests with cookie insertion to 
the web servers.

Everything pretty much works as expected, but I often get pound health 
checks returning:
503 Service Unavailable

I don't need pound to do the health checks can I just turn it off?
I tried:
Alive 0
But then pound won't start.

Currently the log is giving:
backend 127.0.0.1:80 connect: Connection timed out

But the backend should be working (it is if I try direct), funnily 
enough the same config worked fine yesterday...
Which implies I've done something...

Any help appreciated,
Regards,
Malcolm.

Replying to myself as I resolved part of the issue:

backend 127.0.0.1:80 connect: Connection timed out
Was being caused by a strange routing issue (nothing to do with pound)
