RE: multiple installations on the same macine
Hi Jeff, could i install multiple instances of HAProxy on one machine? Why would you do that exactly? Please explain, because I feel like you are doing it for the wrong reasons. Maybe what you are trying to achieve can be done more efficiently. How? Would you like to *install* multiple instances, or would you just like to *start* multiple instances with different configurations? Lukas
