Hello,
After testing the proxy protocol feature to balance SMTP connections to
a Postfix
2.10 farm, I have to say it is doing nicely, using HAProxy 1.5-dev19.
Thank you for this very welcome feature.
But I was wondering, is the proxy protocol patch for the current stable
version
(1.4.24) publicly available? I have been looking for the patch, but
could not find
it, only mentions of it.
The only proxy protocol patches I'm aware of are those from Cyril Bonté
and concern the accept side. I think a backport to act on the send side
would be harder to implement though you may want to attempt it.
If it's just for an internal policy of deploying only stable versions,
we're still working hard trying to finalize the server-side keep-alive
so that we can release 1.5. It's more than a few weeks away but could
possibly match your needs and save you from a backport.
Indeed, at work we only needed accept-proxy, so I didn't spend time to
backport the "send-proxy" features. And we are planning to officialize
the use of the haproxy 1.5 branch on all of our platforms (at least
those who will upgrade).
If it's not an option for you, let me know and I'll have a look on the
patch to include the "send-proxy" features. It could take some times
before I can release it, as I'm quite (too) busy nowadays.
Regards,
