Lukas, Thank you for your quick response. That explanation makes a lot of sense. I appreciate your time.

However when the backend server clearly responds with a RST or ICMP unreachable - which is the case when the is no application running on the particular port, the error is passed immediately up the stack and haproxy can handle it without waiting for a timeout. If you want to test timeout settings, point somewhere where you don't get a response. Lukas
