So, here's a potentially odd setup. We're trying to set haproxy to proxy
to two separate auto-scaled groups of aws servers. The easiest way we
can think of to do this is to have haproxy send traffic to two elbs,
which will then balance across their respective server groups. The
problem we're running into is that elbs work by pointing to DNS names. I
know haproxy can work with this by using a resolvers section and
referencing it on the server line, but I'm not sure if that handles a
dns name that tries to do round robin dns.
Basically, the elb dns name will generally return multiple records, to
try and distribute client load across several elbs in several access
zones. Is the server directive smart enough to create multiple balanced
servers for one server line, if the resolved name returns multiple records?
