There is a soft restart option.
You can read about that in the docs..

It seems to me so far, that haproxy always requires a restart
whenever a new server is added or removed, which will bring the
whole site down, and if using session persistence, then all the
session information will be lost. Which will make it useless for
high availability sites.
Is this actually the case? Can anyone illuminate me?
Thank you,
