In a way, this reverts [1]. Previously, we would prevent users from blacklisting a backend from vcl_backend_error. But this is actually useful to users: when a backend fails to respond (and is considered healthy due to e.g. a varnishadm call), we may want to blacklist it for a short while, in order to `return (retry)` and be sure that we do not use this backend for our second try. This changes the behavior to checking if there is an available backend, e.g. if we are in vcl_backend_response or vcl_backend_error. [1]: varnish/libvmod-saintmode@d8658c9

Hi,
That looks reasonable, can we get some testing around it please?
