Hi I'm looking for a solution that allows the backend to maintain keep-alive connections. From the documentation and the mailing list it seems that the keep alive can only be maintained in the frontend.
I found a similar request back in 2010 and I was wondering if there was any action taken? http://www.formilux.org/archives/haproxy/1009/3830.html My configuration: haproxy - load balancing 12 servers in the backend. Each backend server hosts an application running Jetty. >From the client side we have dozens of clients (nginx/php) making http requests to haproxy which then forwards the http request to one of the 12 servers.The server will send an http response (and some data) back to the client. Under very high load, we found that the huge amount of open/closed connections in the backend servers causes the application to run at almost 100% cpu load. Regards Eric
