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.

I'm looking to see if pound will do what I need.
 
I've got a webserver "A" that occasionally hangs up, and a backup "B"
webserver with a snapshot of what is on "A".
 
What I need is something that will forward requests only to "A" under
normal circumstances, but if "A" becomes unavailable, forward requests
to "B" instead.
 
Does pound to this?
