What does that file do?  I didn't see any mention of it in documentation.  It looks like it's for a senario where you have one backend and a remote
frontend...  In this case I have two backends and two frontends...  Changing the value from localhost to the hostname or IP of the server gives me
access denied errors when I try to start the backend on the slave... ???
