This is not related to haproxy as haproxy does not make use of the host field. In fact, while hypens are allowed in DNS, underscores are not. In my opinion, you had previously tested from a windows machine where the underscore was handled by the windows name resolver which uses underscores. Or maybe you had this hard-coded in your /etc/hosts file. BTW, check the error you're getting on the browser. I suspect it's talking about DNS. You should also notice that haproxy does not get any connection when this happens. Regards, Willy
