Okay, here to answer my own question. And it pretty dumb that I didn't see it, as I'm sure most of you did.
In the below setup, www.example.com<http://www.example.com> on the DNS points to the load balancer. The balancer sends requests to TS and in remap.conf of TS I have this rule: map http://www.example.com http://www.example.com Of course, when resolving www.example.com<http://www.example.com>, TS maps to the load balancer again! And so on. TS should be remapped to an ip address. FYI From: Geert Lugtenberg [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: donderdag 17 januari 2013 11:57 To: [email protected] Subject: INACTIVE_TIMEOUT when using CNAME alias Hello all, We are using Traffic Server to modify content in conjunction with HAproxy to balance. Our setup for an example website is this: Normal: www.example.com<http://www.example.com> -> origin.server.ip CNAME alias: example.alias.somedomain.com -> HAproxy balancer -> Traffic Server proxy -> origin.server.ip When I map haproxy.ip www.example.com<http://www.example.com> in my local host file, everything works fine. HAproxy balances and send the requests to TS, then on to the OS. But when the alias is used (so host: www.example.com<http://www.example.com> but goes to example.alias.somedomain.com), it does not work, and I get some errors in /error.log : CONNECT:[1] could not connect [INACTIVE_TIMEOUT] to HAproxy.balancer.ip for 'some url' Why do I get these error when using an alias? Should I modify the active timeouts in records.config? Thanks.
