I’m having a little trouble figuring exactly how HAProxy works-- this is probably such a simple newbie question, but I can’t really find the answer easily in the docs.
Suppose HAProxy is configured for round-robin load balancing. If a client makes a connection to HAProxy, and then that client sends HTTP request #1. HAProxy routes the message to a selected backend server, and the server responds with response #1. Now let’s say the client keeps the connection open (does not close the socket), and then sends HTTP request #2 on the same socket. The question is, since it is the same socket connection, will HAProxy send it to the same backend server as request #1? Or, will it move to the next round-robin backend server for each subsequent request on the same socket connection?
