Straightforward tutorial! Just one question, have you figured how to query all servers connected to the proxy serve and combining the results into one table? Currently I have to refresh to see results from the next server and so on..

Nice introduction! I have a question though: why bother configuring SSL settings while binding port 80?

Nice video ;-) I want to create a VIP for two Active/Passive servers but the problem is the console of this App (Dollar Universe) works with specific 4170 port... Do you know how could I specify to my VIP that works with this port or redirect to this IP_servers:4170 ports???

hi,
me and my teams want to develop Moodle Sever with HA Proxy but little bit confused with moodle data sync issue.

as we know Moodle stored dynamic data in databases, but static user's data stored in ~/moodledata.
that user's data stored stored in each web server so that if user 1 connect to HA Proxy than redirect to server1, than user1 stores this data in there, may be some times user1 connect to HA Proxy and redirect to web server2, so that previous data cannot be load because the data in server1, not in server2.


the question is,
How to make 2 server have directory structure same as each others (as is/full sync).
which configurations in HA Proxy to hendle this feature?

Thanks

cant believe that even you call it a "load balancer" and not a reverse proxy. and you think you are gonna teach me something on youtube?
