Reload issue - how to make it right way? (3 replies)

Hi all,

I found haproxy as a really nice load balance tool.
I setted up 100 machines as a part of backend, every machine max 8
connection, least alghoritm, tcp mode -works perfect!!

But this 100 machines is a part of cloud, so It is possible that some
machine will got replaced, or simply I would increase number of
machines in backend.

And here problem is comming,

When I do reload, new haproxy process is not aware about current
connections - counters are reset, and backend hosts are receiving more
than maximum 8 connecitons.

I dont't want to go deeper describing my services. I'm just wondering
If I missed something in my configuration?

Or simply haproxy is not designed to work with dynamic backend?

Lukasz
