Hi, Is the hostname resolvable when the server is down? For now, HAProxy only tries to resolve a hostname at start up. Willy has plans to improve this by doing a name lookup during health checks, allowing a server to change its IP address. Maybe it ill fix the issue you're describing. By the way, which version of HAProxy are you running? cheers
