Another question - after clearing cache (or restart), avoiding killing the backend?

Hi,

| Since the cache is cleared after a restart, how do people avoid
| slamming their backends as the cache is refilled?

You can set max_connections on the backend.  That will give 503s to any
clients that can't get a backend connection, but this might be
preferably to having your backends explode from too much traffic.
