Is it possible for haproxy to basically kill (and/or retry) established backend connections for a failed backend server as soon as it fails a content check? Basically I have some long running requests that are expected to hang, in some cases the server they are connected to goes unavailable, failing the health check, but the connection sits until the timeout is reached while no new connections are routed to it. Ideally I would be able to keep my high server timeout but have those connections closed and retried (similar to redispatch/retry) if there was a health check failure after they were established. From what I can tell redispatch and retries don't cover this case. Thoughts?
