K enabled logging in haproxy but even more confused i think i had a misconfiguration the problem my www_backend had incorrect conn rate limit set as 200bytes
acl DATARATE_ABUSER sc2_bytes_out_rate gt 200 instead of acl DATARATE_ABUSER sc2_bytes_out_rate gt 20000000 but in either case once rate was corrected, with or without acl in place, /forums/images/i.png still bypassed stick-tables ? ################################### With acl path_beg 3 lines enabled - /forums/images/i.png bypasses stick-tables - log shows: Feb 18 21:36:47 localhost haproxy[3564]: 192.168.56.120:33470 [18/Feb/2012:21:36:47.442] www imagepath_backend/server2 0/0/0/0/+0 200 +381 - - --NI 1/1/1/1/0 0/0 {192.168.56.120||} {Apache/2.2.21 (|247|max-age=||} "GET /forums/images/i.png HTTP/1.1" - /phpinfo.php gets rate limited via stick-tables - log shows Feb 18 21:38:37 localhost haproxy[3564]: 192.168.56.120:38054 [18/Feb/2012:21:38:27.659] www backend_tarpit/ -1/9815/-1/-1/+9816 500 +433 - - PT-- 49/49/49/0/3 0/0 {192.168.56.120||} {||||} "GET /phpinfo.php HTTP/1.1" ################################### With acl path_beg 3 lines disabled - /forums/images/i.png bypasses stick-tables - log shows: Feb 18 21:43:41 localhost haproxy[3842]: 192.168.56.120:58633 [18/Feb/2012:21:43:41.501] www www_backend/server2 0/0/0/0/+0 200 +381 - - --NI 1/1/1/1/0 0/0 {192.168.56.120||} {Apache/2.2.21 (|247|max-age=||} "GET /forums/images/i.png HTTP/1.1" - /phpinfo.php gets rate limited via stick-tables - log shows Feb 18 21:45:20 localhost haproxy[3842]: 192.168.56.120:34635 [18/Feb/2012:21:45:13.417] www backend_tarpit/ -1/6866/-1/-1/+6866 500 +433 - - PT-- 0/0/0/0/3 0/0 {192.168.56.120||} {||||} "GET /phpinfo.php HTTP/1.1" ################################### --- posted at http://www.serverphorums.com http://www.serverphorums.com/read.php?10,447870,447974#msg-447974
