Well what I'd really like is a UDP connect check for a UDP service but 
that doesn't seem to work.
For instance if you do :

virtual=10.0.1.31:53 gate Test_DNS
        real=10.0.0.50:53 gate 1
        fallback=127.0.0.1:53
        service=none
        checktype=connect
        scheduler=wrr
        protocol=udp

It wont work... (NB. obviously in production I want to use a different 
port than 53 but its an easy one to test
But :
service=dns
will work because of the special handling.
