Or 'cat' or m4.  More below.

I don't fully understand your question, but let me give you a rough 
outline of what I think would do what you're asking:

=== header.conf ====
User        "proxy"
Group       "proxy"
RootJail    "/var/pound"
Alive       15
TimeOut     120
LogLevel    5
Daemon      1
Control     "/tmp/pound.sock"
DynScale    0

ListenHTTP
         # localhost, for testing
         Address a.b.c.d
         Port 80
         RewriteLocation 0
         HeadRemove "X-Forwarded-Proto"
End
===
=== dom1.conf ====
### special handling for *.check*.geekisp.com
Service "foo1"
         HeadRequire "^Host:[ \t]*foo\.bar\.com$"
         Backend
                 Address backend_1
                 Port 80
         end
end
===
=== dom2.conf ===
Service "baz"
         HeadRequire "^Host:[ \t]*baz\.bar\.com$"
         Backend
                 Address backend_1
                 Port 81
         end
end
===

That's it.  Just 'cat' them all together and you get your pound.conf 
file.  This would send requests to foo.bar.com to "backend_1" on port 80 
and requests to "baz.bar.com" to backend_1 on port 81.

DSR, aka Direct Server Return, is not directly supported by pound.  You 
might be able to make it work if you did some magic, but I haven't heard 
of anybody doing it.

I am quite sure that adding a shutdown() would not hurt. However, having
too many open files is not likely to be related to this, but rather to
the total allowed number of open files.[...]

Hi!

I don't maintain the code. :-(
I wrote this patch for 2.0 b4.

It needs a special iptables module which does the hard work
(iptable_tproxy implemented by Balabit Ltd.).
The link to the module on page is not up to date.
New link: http://www.balabit.com/downloads/files/tproxy/

Some information about tproxy:
http://www.balabit.com/support/community/products/tproxy/

TProxy is not a cross-platform solution so I think there is no chance to
include in the normal codebase.

Best regatds,

If that is what you want, have a look at the OpenBSD pf - I think it
would do this sort of routing.

The original patch seems not to be very portable - as are all
kernel-based solutions.[...]

There is no such log facility as 'pound'.  Read the syslog man page - 
there is a small set of predefined facilities.  To do what you want, 
there's other ways that vary by the specifics of your syslog 
implementation.  You might ask on a FreeBSD users list and get more 
detailed help.

Yes, there is an "Emergency" directive you can use for "Service", which 
will kick in after your BackEnd A becomes unavailable.  As soon as 
BackEnd A is available, pound will switch to it, and stop sending 
requests to the Emergency (BackEnd B) server.
