Aah! Yes--  you are correct. I was thinking a the load balancer level, not
the pool level.  (Maybe we can clarify this distinction in the requirements

But I would also be surprised if there are load balancers today that don't
intrinsically offer "active / backup pool membership" as a standard feature.

Eugene: This is somewhat similar to weighting, but not exactly the same
thing.
