Hi Florin, >I suspect I cannot increase the global maxconn indefinitely. At some point, I'll run into some limits. What will dictate those limits? In other words, how should I design the instance running HAproxy to make sure I can increase >maxconn to a very high value?
I'm far from an expert, but from lurking on this list, I can tell you that your maxconn will be limited by available RAM on your server, and the amount of RAM each connection consumes is constant unless you're doing SSL termination, which it doesn't sound like you are. Have a look at this response from Willy to a similar question a few years ago; it should answer your question: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg03205.html Keys
