Hello,

it would be really awesome if HAProxy module had a 'use_backends' parameter. This way, one could easily check the health of specific backends and ignore all the ones that do not match the given regexp. Or in other words: 'use_backends' would do inverted thing 'ignore_backends' does.

To check if a given backend is okay or not, one might get away with 'ignore_backends=/^(?\!my_backend)/i' but this is a) ugly, b) difficult to maintain and c) still reports WARNINGs for all the backends that are of no interest to us.

Please consider.
