As I mentioned, I'm not very familiar with peers as they are a 1.5 feature. You can read what the fine manual says about them here: http://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/configuration-1.5.html#3.5 I'm fairly sure I'm correct in saying that they are a feature which only helps you load balance with multiple HAProxy nodes *after* you have ensured your traffic will be distributed across the nodes. They do not actively help with the task of spreading your traffic. Others on this list will be better placed to advise you better on this, however, so please take their word (and the documentation) over mine.
