Hi, In the current 1.6dev version, HAProxy can reuse open keepalive connection between HAPrxy and the server for requests from many clients. Look the documentation about the option "http-reuse". https://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/snapshot/configuration-1.6.html#http-reuse The option http-reuse with a server maxconn, have the behavior of a pool. > Is it planned or thought to build it in lua? Lua is not really used for establishing connection from HAProxy to the server. So, there are two cases: You want to use the Socket class for establishing TCP connection. In this case, you must write the pool management system (and implementing the HTTP protocol). You use the HAProxy proxy functionalities for forwarding requests to the server. In this case, Lua benefit of all the HAProxy features. It automatically uses the connections pool. > I'm just al little bit curious about this feature due to the fact that I > will need such a feature in a Openshift Enterprise 3 Environment to > proxy some external connections like jdbc/odbc/... connections and other > TCP-Based protocols. > > This is the official document for there router, in case it is not known > here. > > https://docs.openshift.com/enterprise/3.0/architecture/core_concepts/routes.html > > There is a official docker repository for haproxy > > https://hub.docker.com/_/haproxy/ > > Is anyone from haproxy community involved into this repo? I worked a little bit around Docker in order to create an Haproxy Dockerfile, and my biggest problem had to provide an HAProxy package with some specific compilations options, but without installing the compilator in the image/container for obvious security reasons. I don't found solution :) The only way that I found is to provide packages in independent repo. Thierry
