Re: HAPROXY and POUND X-FORWARD

I second that suggestion.  I have had great success with nginx!

Hi Chris,
  You can try nginx in that case. Its open source and has many features that you are looking for.

More information at http://nginx.net/

Thanks,

I am also open to trying other open source load balancing solutions. Our requirements are:

SSL termination on load balancer
HTTP cookie session persistence
Node health checking
Automatically take failed server out of pool
Detailed logging

Regards,

Chris.

We need cookie persistence and last I had checked, pound did not support this.

Curious, why even bother with HA-Proxy? Why not just do the balancing + termination on Pound?

We are using Pound to terminate incoming SSL traffic and then we forward to the packet to a HAPROXY server for load balancing.



Pound sees in the client IP address of our external web browser in its logs, which is great,, but when Pound forwards the traffic to HAPROXY, HAPROXY sees the source IP as being Pound and not the real external IP address.



Is it possible for Pound to send the real source IP address to haproxy and have haproxy display that IP address in its logs instead?



Basically, I want haproxy to see the x-forwarded IP address.



Thanks,



Chris.
