Our current HAProxy configuration relies on acls of the form:

  acl few_concurrent_requests sc0_conn_cur(http-in) le 5
  acl few_avg_connections sc0_conn_rate(http-in) le 5

We use these to analyze the connection rate and concurrent requests of
our customers.

We would prefer to have multiple HAProxy boxes for redundancy and also
have a holistic view of the acls across HAProxy instances, e.g. the
concurrent request rate for a customer across all HAProxy stick-table
peers, however since stick-table counters are not replicated between
nodes this is not possible

1.) Are there plans or interest in adding the ability to share
counters across stick-table peers?

2.) How do others deal with this present lack of sharing between
nodes, do they run an active passive setup with one HAProxy instance
serving all the traffic?

Thanks, Jesse

P.S. It took us quite a while before we realized that stick-tables did
not work the way we thought when using peers, it would be great if the
documentation would call this out more prominently.
