That's _not_ good.  The loader MUST be in the list of active servers.  
The candidacy functions you have look right and should eliminate loader 
from its list of candidate (not from the active server list).

If your loader has two interfaces, make sure the multicast stats is 
going out the right interface.  Also, make sure your accept stats lines 
will allow seeing the backend machines from the front end box.

If all requests come into loader, you don't really need any Backhand 
directives on the back end boxes.  You'll need backhand loaded and 
configured, but you don't need any balancing directives as they will 
never receive requests originating directly from clients and thus never 
have the opportunity to redirect them.
