Hi, In your specific case of testing SMTP servers there is a sendmail milter to do what you want: http://www.snertsoft.com/sendmail/roundhouse/ I do not believe that what you are trying to achieve is possible at the TCP level. haproxy does not have any idea of the application protocol (eg: SMTP)

TCP traffic multiplexing as balance algorithm?

Hi, I have a small question. Did someone know if it is possible to do simple traffic multiplexing with HAProxy? Maybe I am missing it somehow, but want to ask on the list before creating a patch for it. Just to answer the real-world scenario question. TCP multiplexing can be very useful for debug
