Hello everyone,
after numerous searches I came to this site and I hope someone can help me clarify my thoughts.
I am configuring an HAProxy istance and reading the server section of the documentation I found the following:
Address "0.0.0.0" or "*" has a special meaning. It indicates that the connection will be forwarded to the same IP address as the one from the client connection.
This is really interesting for me because in my network the caller machine expose the called service so it.
I don’t want to implement transparent proxy because I cannot modify gateway and firewall so I’m trying to understand how this works, I have the impression that defining a backend with 0.0.0.0:port the connection is redirected to the haproxy host and not to the caller host.
Thank you,
Tommaso
