This creates confusion.\r\n\r\n1. backend refers to a config store, eg docker, file, mesos, etc. This defines how the traefik gets its configuration from (including dynamically).\r\n\r\n2. backend refers to a server that a fronted gets proxied to.\r\n\r\nI suggest using a different word for each concept. Acception 2 (backend vs frontend) would make sense to keep, in my opinion.\r\n\r\nBut the first concept would be best renamed as, eg \"store\" or \"config store\"."}}
