vrrp stateful failover (3 replies)

Hi

The scenario is;

web server that we need to get a large file from, a pair of haproxy load
balancers in front of it in a master/backup configuration, with keepalived
and conntrackd for fun.

If a failover of a master to backup of haproxy occurs would we expect to
see the download interrupted or continue?

i.e. is there a stateful failover?

debian 8
keepalived 1.2.19
haproxy 1.6.3
conntrackd 1.4.2

using vmacs on keepalived due to some funky arp limitation in our
environment.

If i have conntrackd running then the download stalls, if its not running
the download gets interrupted.

I feel as if i am missing something from the haproxy configuration that
means the 2 instances are not sharing their state.

configs are available, but its all pretty standard and follows the docs

Thanks in advance for any help

Alex
