Hey Jim,
Here's the pertinent section from the docs
(http://cbonte.github.com/haproxy-dconv/configuration-1.4.html#4-balance)
"The source IP address is hashed and divided by the total
weight of the running servers to designate which server will
receive the request. This ensures that the same client IP
address will always reach the same server as long as no
server goes down or up. If the hash result changes due to the
number of running servers changing, many clients will be
directed to a different server."
Cheers!
-Jeff
