Hi, I've read that lowering 'maxconn' number can make the services faster and can also prevent connection flooding. However, in the HAProxy doc, it is a little confusing whether we should use 'maxconn' globally, set it with a default, or on a specific backend (or any combination of the three).
This example ( http://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/configuration-1.5.html#2.3) uses it both globally and on a backend, while the doc for 'maxconn' ( http://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/configuration-1.5.html#4-maxconn) states that it cannot be used for a backend. Could someone please clarify the usage of maxconn in different sections of a config? Thanks, Merton
