I would recommend that you check out the architecture guide, which offers a large number of examples on different types of configuration:
http://haproxy.1wt.eu/download/1.3/doc/architecture.txt It's perhaps not availabled for the most recent version (1.4), but it should give you some good ideas. Many on the list aren't so so hot on virtualised environments, notably Willy, HAProxy's main author, but it should work well enough for moderate traffic volumes.
