As far as I know, nmap uses TCP fingerprinting techniques (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP/IP_stack_fingerprinting) to guess the operating system. This has nothing to do with haproxy. The wikipedia article on TCL fingerprinting mentions that there are tools for making fingerprinting attempts less successful, that's probably where you should look if its something you want to do. HTH, Graeme.
