Falling back to a disabled pool member, if all others are down?

Hi,   We have round robin load sharing with two pool members. When we need to do some maintenance, we disable the pool member, and wait for all active and persistent connections to be finished.  ...

I'd suggest that if an app is so critical that you need to maintain HA even during maintenance, it's time for a 3rd node. Would you really ever want to send live traffic to a node undergoing maintenance?

We would like to send traffic to it in the period we are waiting for persistant connections to go away, but not during the maintaince. I agree it its time for a third node.
