I don¹t know if it works on BSD, but if so, use Heartbeat instead. It can be configured to run whatever you want when one machine takes over.. So you could have it kill(because you might have auto fail back enabled) then start haproxy after it takes the IP. Maybe CARP can do the same thing?

I'd like to set up a redundant HAProxy server using CARP failover in FreeBSD so the spare server will automatically snatch up the "listen" IP and balance out our server farm. I can get HAProxy configured, but it won't actually start unless the IP is already bound to the box. Suggestions? (latest haproxy-devel from FreeBSD ports) ---Daniel
