Hi,
I'm running HAProxy 1.5.x
I have a pair of web servers running multiple websites, so far so good.
I have the need to run an extra site on its own separate IP address, I was wondering if I re-use the same back end definition and just add a new front end, is this advisable? would it cause problems?
Or is it best practice/better to have both a separate front end with its separate back-end?
The reasoning for having a single backend is because as the web servers are the same for all the websites, I would like HAProxy to consider that the server capacity available is what I have currently defined in the existing back-end.
If I add two back-ends will I end sort of duplicating the number of possible connections? IE two back-ends using: maxconn 4000 will led HAProxy to try to fit maxconn 4000 x 2 = 8000
If someone could clarify this to me it will be great.
