Anyone doing this? config suggestions? you can simply download the very latest snapshot (not yet available in the snapshot directory, you'll have to extract it from GIT) : http://haproxy.1wt.eu/git?p=haproxy.git;a=snapshot;sf=tgz Then replace "option httpclose" with "option http-server-close" and you'll have keep-alive on the client-side. It also supports pipelining, which further reduces latency when your clients support it too. Best regards, Willy
