I don’t know for sure. But it looks like enabled/disabled has no bearing at all on alive/dead status, or checking.

If a backed is tagged as "DISABLED" does pound continue to check it for alive/dead status? I want to put a bunch of IP's in there for possible webservers, and just leave them physically off. But I don't want pound constantly checking for them if I know they are offline. If I set them to DISABLED will pound stop checking them for alive/dead status? -brad
