+fe_exists
+  Takes a frontend name as input value and returns a boolean TRUE if the said
+  frontend with that name exists in the current configuration, otherwise returns
+  FALSE. Can be used in places where checking the existence of a frontend from a
+  dynamic name is valuable, like map lookups or answering to an external check.
+
+  Example :
+      http-request deny unless { var(txn.fe_name),fe_exists }
+
 fix_is_valid
   Parses a binary payload and performs sanity checks regarding FIX (Financial
   Information eXchange):
