I have not a really clear picture about how the front- and backends 
communicate, but if we use the TCP/IP connection the backend would have 
the unavailability option already (asynchronous socket error), plus it 
will solve most of the protocol questions. You could also choose to run 
a secundary protocol on onother port.
