Is this thing on? Someone hijacked my thread... but didn't answer my questions...

But if we restart pound everyone goes to a different backend server than the one they had affinity for. 1- Now, we want to dynamically add a new pound server to the pound configuration, but we don't want to restart pound because again, everyone would be logged off our product if we did that. So how do we dynamically add in a new backend server without restarting pound? 2- Same question except this time removing a backend server. How do I remove a backend server from pound without restarting pound and losing all the session affinity? -brad
