we are in the process of switching from a foundry load balancer (really old) to haproxy.
we originally went with 1.4 and stunnel, however stunnel caved at 1000 connections and we had to find a new solution, so we are now running 1.5. we've done a lot of testing, but we feel that we just don't have exactly what we need, or could use. we are also running into an error with a large file upload timing out after 10 minutes, and we can't seem to explain it. below is all the information. ---- HA-Proxy version 1.5-dev22-1a34d57 2014/02/03 Copyright 2000-2014 Willy Tarreau <w...@1wt.eu> Build options : TARGET = linux2628 CPU = generic CC = x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc CFLAGS = -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs -fno-strict-aliasing OPTIONS = USE_LIBCRYPT=1 USE_GETADDRINFO=1 USE_ZLIB=1 USE_OPENSSL=1 USE_PCRE=1 USE_PCRE_JIT=1 Default settings : maxconn = 2000, bufsize = 16384, maxrewrite = 8192, maxpollevents = 200 Encrypted password support via crypt(3): yes Built with zlib version : 1.2.8 Compression algorithms supported : identity, deflate, gzip Built with OpenSSL version : OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013 Running on OpenSSL version : OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013 OpenSSL library supports TLS extensions : yes OpenSSL library supports SNI : yes OpenSSL library supports prefer-server-ciphers : yes Built with PCRE version : 8.33 2013-05-28 PCRE library supports JIT : yes Built with transparent proxy support using: IP_TRANSPARENT IPV6_TRANSPARENT IP_FREEBIND Available polling systems : epoll : pref=300, test result OK poll : pref=200, test result OK select : pref=150, test result OK Total: 3 (3 usable), will use epoll. --- the config is as follows, please feel free to make fun of us for our severe lack of proper config. https://gist.github.com/anonymous/8deb82dba88980e8d243 the multiple frontends for the same thing are for redirects, last night was a we have to swap it out or we are going to have major problems kind of night, and i couldn't find an ACL that would match on proxy to do the correct redirects if it was needed. anyway, thank you. mr.npp
