Let's say my front end is: something.domain01.com
I want requests that hit this HAProxy to be redirected or forwarded to: foobar.lobster.net ... which lives inside my network. I want to understand how HAProxy behaves. At startup will HAProxy cache the IP of foobar.lobster.net? Or will HAProxy lookup the name at the time the rule matches that redirects/forwards domain01 to lobster.net? If so how long will HAProxy cache the IP of lobster.net? The net result I want is: If request comes in to front end then HAProxy will redirect/forward to other domain name. Upon redirect/forward HAProxy will lookup the IP of other domain every time, all the time. ************************* Justin Franks Lead Operations Engineer SaaS, Cloud, Data Centers & Infrastructure Lithium Technologies, Inc 225 Bush St., 15th Floor San Francisco, CA 94104 tel: +1 415 757 3100 x3219
