Dear Aleks, Bryan, Igor and Willy,
Thank you Aleks and Igor for your domain rewrite insights and Bryan and
Willy for your basic configuration guidance in the last few weeks. Your
insights and a few Web articles helped us achieve the following milestones:
1) A working reverse proxy load balancing deployment of HAProxy.
2) Access a product while employing reverse proxy by sub-directory.
Your efforts culminated into a HAProxy configuration that is given below
for your and other users review, modification and use.
Also, if you are a blog writer, please feel free to post it as your blog
for other's benefit and quicker adoption of HAProxy.
Your guidance has been important and relevant to us as HAProxy, Varnish,
Keepalived / Heartbeat and Pound implementations will be the corporate
sentinel of our private cloud infrastructure that customers access.
This corporate infrastructure will help in our journey to IPO. Your
encouraging and timely help propelled us faster towards this goal.
Thank you.
