    Drain stopping allows user sessions to be gracefully removed from disabled servers. This allows users to finish their session before removing servers for maintenance.

  • Why do my real servers come in and out of service frequently?

You may use the wildcards %h and %s to represent the requested hostname and URI respectively.
