you have two possibilities :
- you know each one of your haproxy servers, so you configure them
to simply add a Via header (using reqadd with their name). Eg:
reqadd Via:\ haproxy1
- you just want to forward the address the client connected to,
which should match the listen address when there's only one
listen address. Then you can enable "option originalto" which
you contributed, and get this IP address in the "x-original-to"
header.
Hoping this helps,
Willy
