FEATURE REQUEST: Add ability to mark server as 'backup' via socket control

Hi,

When using a socket to control haproxy there is already the capability to mark a server as 'down' for maintenance. Is there any possibility of adding the capability to mark it as 'backup'?

This feature would permit greater automation control via scripting (i.e. progressively marking a server as 'backup' and then 'down' once the sessions have reduced to at/near zero.

Is this a good idea? Are there good reasons why this hasn't been done already?

Thanks,

Brett Delle Grazie
