yes, you can have multiple backends listed in 'server_list', each one  
with its own configuration record.

Your kloned.conf could be something like:

	server_list	main ctrl
	main.addr.port	80
	ctrl.addr.port	8080
	...

ctrl could also be an HTTPS server if needed, i.e.:

	ctrl.type       https
	...

[ see klone-core-2.x.y/etc/kloned-https.conf for more details. ]

probably the cleanest solution would be to terminate the parent kloned  
and let a shell wrapper  restart it automatically (a la daemontools):

So, tell ctrl that we need to restart:

	https://localhost:8080/ctrl.kl1?action=restart

Then in ctrl.kl1 (pseudo-code):

	if (action == restart)
	{
		kill(getpid(), SIGINT);
		/* or getppid() depending on server 'model' */
	}

And finally in the shell wrapper:
	
	while true
	do
		kloned -F -...
	done

Hope it helps.

ciao, t.
