-      Lists the defined backends including health state.
-
-backend.set_health matcher state
-      Sets the health state on a specific backend, overriding the state
-      determined by a probe.  This is useful if you want to take a

-      All requests for objects from the cache are matched against
-      items on the ban list.  If an object in the cache is older than
-      a matching ban list item, it is considered "banned", and will be
-      fetched from the backend instead.
