Hello, We have an haproxy setup here (great piece of software!) showing a strange issue.
After months of flawless operation, suddenly the service initscript is not able to close the process anymore. Need to use a kill -9 manually. Even more strange, at every restart the process is not closed, but another instance is started. We use a configuration with stickiness tables and the backend servers receive duplicate requests from haproxy when multiple process instances are running. It's not a particularly serious issue (at least we know how to work around it), but I was wondering how the duplicate request part could work. I would expect some errors at haproxy startup or in the logs when another instance is already running, but from haproxy perspective everything is running fine. Is this the expected behavior? Thanks for the info and for the software!
