It would introduce latency in the request processing. Why would you need such way of serving your request? By the way, this is not doable with HAProxy. Well, at least, not out of the box :) Depending on your needs, you could hack some dirty scripts which can sync your redis DB with HAProxy server status through the stats socket. cheers
