I can't find in the documentation anything about how haproxy handles client keep-alive (using http-server-close) when the maximum number of client connections has been reached.
If there are idle client connections, will the proxy close them to allow new connections to be established? Or, will new connections be refused while keeping idle connections around? It seems like it would be best to begin closing idle connections when the connection limit is approaching thus degrading to non-keep-alive behavior under heavy load. What does haproxy 1.4 do? -Bryan
