HAProxy list,

I wanted to confirm what I've read in the documentation and on other posts 
concerning HAProxy and failover using the Peer functionality. HAProxy does not 
automatically failover for you - if two HAProxy instances are linked as peers, 
if an instance go down (or a frontend and/or backend is purposefully brought 
down via command line), HAProxy will not automatically start routing traffic to 
the other functioning HAProxy instance. It is up to a DNS or some other layer 
to send traffic to the second HAProxy instance, but the second instance will at 
least have the updated stick-table info from the first instance to use when 
determining routing of traffic. Is that how I should understand the peer 
functionality or am I just not configuring it correctly?

Thanks (as usual),
Zack Connelly
