Hi Tobias, Please don't forget to Cc the ML, unless there are private information in your email. 'peer' section is also used to synchronize data between HAProxy processes, when HAProxy is reloaded. You should use it. create a 'peer' section and don't forget to use the 'peers' directive on the stick-table definition. concerning the stick-table size, you have acls which allows you to retrieve the number of entries in a table and so you can take allow or deny decision based on this. That said, you may have to reload HAProxy to update the number of entries the ACL should allow. Not sure there is a simple solution there. Baptiste
