resending my entire message because I didn't get subscribed in time...
A couple of weeks ago I installed haproxy on our server running FreeBSD
11.0-RELEASE-p16. (yes, I know it's an old version of the OS, I'm going to
upgrade it as soon as I solve my haproxy problem.)
Haproxy is supposed to load balance between 2 web servers running apache.
haproxy ran fine and balanced well for about 2 weeks, and then it stopped
sending client connections to the second web server.
It still works fine for the first server. Why it persists across reboots
is a mystery.
Once haproxy stopped balancing, it's never used the second server, even
after a restart/reboot.
It still does health checks to both servers just fine, and reports L7OK/200
at every check for both servers. I've tried using both roundrobin and
leastconn, with no luck. I've restarted haproxy several times, and
rebooted the server it's running on, and it the behavior doesn't change.
I'm out of ideas, does anyone have suggestions for fixing this (or
improving my config in general)?
Here's my config file:
