Hi,
Earlier today we took all our primary webservers offline to perform some
maintenance on our webservers. There is one backup server configured in
haproxy which simply hosts a single index page, and rewrites all URLS to
display this.
Following bringing the servers back online, traffic was still being
directed to the backup server, so my question is thus:
What is the correct behaviour for a server configured as a backup in
haproxy, once the normal servers are back online?
Cheers
Chris
