As described in https://github.com/openark/haproxy/pull/1, this patch/PR supports transitioning from DOWN state directly into NOLB.
Current existing status only allows transitioning from DOWN to UP and then to NOLB. I suggest updating the behavious via backwards compatible introduction of new configuration variable: allow-down-to-nolb defaults: false (preserve existing behavior) I'm unsure what's the correct flow for submitting a patch at this time, let's please continue discussion.
