Hi there, First of all : I am very fond of HAProxy :-)
I was trying to do some service discovery with bind9 and HAProxy when I
found an odd behaviour on the /resolvers/ part.
Here are some config samples :
My frontend and backend and resolvers config:
/resolvers discovery//
// nameserver jabba 172.16.0.2:53//
// resolve_retries 5//
// timeout retry 1s//
// hold valid 3s/
/frontend staging_frontend//
// mode http//
// bind 127.0.0.1:8013//
// default_backend staging_backend//
//
//
//backend staging_backend//
// server jabba php-staging.vra:8013 check resolvers discovery/
a sample dig :
/$ dig @172.16.0.2 php-staging.vra +short//
//172.16.0.2/
So far, everything seems fine to me. But, when i reload haproxy's config :
/mars 04 15:55:13 jabba haproxy[25262]: [ALERT] 063/155513 (25262) :
parsing [/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg:98] : 'server jabba' : invalid
address: 'php-staging.vra' in ...//
//mars 04 15:55:13 jabba haproxy[25262]: [ALERT] 063/155513 (25262)
: Error(s) found in configuration file : /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg//
//mars 04 15:55:13 jabba haproxy[25262]: [ALERT] 063/155513 (25262)
: Fatal errors found in configuration./
I first questioned my configuration and checked everything out ... There
was no obvious issue.
I checked my //etc/resolv.conf/ file and saw that my server wasn't using
the same resolver. Its resolver did not had any knowledge whatsoever of
/php-staging.vra/ and it caused my configuration to fail on reload.
My //etc/resolv.conf /was :
/nameserver 8.8.8.8//
//nameserver 213.186.33.99//
///
and became
/nameserver 172.16.0.2//
//search vra//
//nameserver 8.8.8.8//
//nameserver 213.186.33.99/
permitting haproxy's reload.
My question is pretty simple : since there is a resolvers section in
haproxy's configuration, is it possible to use it despite the server's
resolv.conf?
Let me know if something's unclear in my explanation :)
