[SPAM] backup option doesn't seem to work

[Yves Van Wert]

Hi list,

i've created this backend config :

backend weblogic-tpc
       mode http
       balance roundrobin
       cookie SERVERID insert indirect nocache
       option httpclose
       option forwardfor
       option allbackups
       server server01n 10.130.101.5:9003 check cookie server01n weight 10
       server server02n 10.130.101.6:9003 check cookie server02n weight 10
       server server05n 10.130.101.1:9003 check cookie server05n weight 15
       server server06n 10.130.101.1:9004 check cookie server06n weight 15
       server server07n 10.130.101.1:9005 check cookie server07n weight 15
       server server03n 10.130.101.7:9003 check cookie server03n weight 10
backup
       server server04n 10.130.101.8:9003 check cookie server04n weight 10
backup



after starting haproxy i notice in the logfile that connections are also
being sent to server03 & 04.  Any idea on how this is possible ?

thanks
Yves
