You don't prevent the slave from starting when you restart your master 
backend, because the slave is on a different machine. It remains running 
throughout the restart of the master backend, and automatically 
reconnects to the master when it is available again.

I think there's a serious misunderstanding of the roles of various 
applications here. Could you elaborate a bit on what you're trying to 
accomplish?
