the problem got serious so I stood up another LB set of instances and installed v1.3.23 all traffic is getting routed over to it.
what I used to see in the logs where just NOSRV 503 in the haproxy log once it hit max con. Now that we upgraded (or rather migrated) let me see if the issue continues or another one presents itself. so far so good but no burst yet. Most likely "Everything worked once I upgraded" will be the result (isn't it always), but thanks for the quick response as always.
