Hello,

Could you elaborate ? 

Does HAProxy already fill the connection table of the underlying OS
so conntrackd is just not required ?

The connection tracking at the OS firewall level is not recommended
for high traffic in order to ensure that the LB tiers running firewall
and LB with HA will not drop a TCP session that get to finish on
an other LB by the firewall (should never happen in theory, in practice,
that might). I can yes disable the conntrack on the firewall on some
VIP and let HAProxy handle gracefully the should never happen
case that happen :p

Thks.
