Hello, I have a problem with haproxy configuration. First let me explain my scenario. I have two hardware servers:
Server A runs a HAPROXY 1.4 and is accessible by HTTP clients Server B runs two instances of HTTP backend software (two sockets) and is only accessible by HAPROXY When now "thousands" of "crazy" clients access HAPROXY (500 mixed non keep-alive and keep-alive requests/second), all requests are forwarded 1:1 to my backend. If I have on Server A 100.000 sockets in TIME_WAIT, the same amount of sockets are also in the same state on Server B. What I need is some kind of rewirte / multiplexing / pooling mechanizm to achive the following: HAPROXY keeps 100 keep-alive connections to the backend and uses them as a pool. No new connections are opened. When now a client will access the HAPROXY its request should be distributed to one of the allready existing connections without opening a new connection to the backend. The connections are not stateful, so a repeating request does not have to return to the same connection. I am unexperienced with HAPROXY and looking just for a solution. Is this possible? Can someone provide my an example configuration? Than you very very much, Maciej
