Hi,
I have a TCP network instrument which only allows a limited number of
connections (3).
I would like to use HAProxy to limit the maximum number of clients but I
would like to have a semantic of: *close the oldest client if maxconn is
reached*. I there a way to configure HAProxy to handle connections like
this?
My clients already handle reconnection automatically so if maxconn + 1
clients are active and HAProxy is able to close the oldest client I could
connect as many clients as I want transparently.
I know that having a lot of active clients could lead to flooding the
network reconnection requests but I prepared to handle the risk since my
use case is very isolated.
Here is my current HAProxy config:
defaults
mode tcp
timeout connect 5000ms
timeout client 50000ms
timeout server 50000ms
listen wago1
bind :15001
server wago1 wago1:502 maxconn 3
Thanks in advance
Kind regards,
Tiago
