I was wondering if anyone has considered or if its possible (am I
missing something?) to do connection pooling in haproxy for TCP
backends? We've been using haproxy internally at Digg and it's working
out really well. Before joining Digg, at Yahoo we had something very
similar to haproxy, that supported connection pooling. The general
idea is that once you start running multiple datacenters with multiple
backends, the latency of TCP ACK between those datacenters really
matters when failures start occurring and you need high availability
and failover of backend services.
The majority of our services are TCP based, not HTTP so keep alive is
out. I was wondering if this has ever been considered or possible
today? I can't find much info in the open source world regarding doing
such things, and thought I'd ask here.
