If I understand it properly, rewrites have to do with the way/manner in which haproxy makes the request from the backend servers. It's transparent to the clients (e.g. user agent). A redirect is not transparent to the user agent. Please correct me if the above is incorrect. Since I am still learning about haproxy, I was merely following some examples out there in the Internets. My goal is simple: user agent requests URL w/o www. redirect that user to url with www. configure it in such a manner that one config block can be applicable to all frontends.
