In fact it's supposed to be configured in your unit file or from your init
script (/etc/{default,sysconfig} etc.).
The problem is that the configuration for HAProxy and for the processes are in
the same configuration file, and if something is wrong, it won't work anymore.
And the master is supposed to survive a reload with a wrong configuration.

Hm you are right, I think it needs some more doc about the master process in
general.
