Force a backend health probe?

[Dridi Boukelmoune]

Hi,

>From the man vcl:

.window
       How many of the latest polls we examine to determine backend
       health.  Defaults to 8.

.threshold
       How many of the polls in .window must have succeeded for us to
       consider the backend healthy.  Defaults to 3.

.initial
       How many of the probes are considered good when Varnish starts.
       Defaults to the same amount as the threshold.

What are the "threshold" and "initial" values of your probes ?
