Hi all - I've been tweaking our HAProxy config here, and we have a desire to slow down (but not tarpit) requests that begin coming in at a extraordinarily high rate.
I was looking into the 'http-{request,response} set-nice' directive, but I can't seem to find much in the way of documentation nor people on the Internet using it successfully. My main question is this: what exactly does set-nice do? What priority does it influence, and when (before the frontend processing? during front-end processing? in backend-processing but before dispatch? etc). I appreciate your collective wisdom. :) -- - Andrew Hayworth
