After reviewing the pound.cfg and poundctl man pages, it's not clear  
to me what the best practice is for dynamically adding backends to  
pound without any downtime.

The best I can tell is that I'd need to modify pound.cfg myself, then  
use poundctl to enable a back-end without restarting the daemon.  Is  
that correct?  Or is there a better way?

Thanks,

Gabe

Interesting, also I would like to know!

Another interesting solution would be do a reload to PID but I think tha
whit the implementation of pound dont possible. Is it correct?

THANKS!

As far I know, Pound need a restart. If you want zero downtime, you need
another load balancer above Pound.
