HI all,

Does anyone have experience using HAProxy as a load balancer in front of a 
RabbitMQ cluster for OpenStack?

We have this setup in our lab and it is very susceptible to queue disconnects. 
In particular, the neutron security group fanout queues 
(q-agent-notifier-security_group-update_fanout_<random id>) will lose their 
client connections and back up with a lot of messages. The clients to these 
queues are the openstack-neutron-openvswitch-agent services.

This happens every time we hit the configured HAProxy TCP timeout. It can also 
happen if a Rabbit node that has a connection is restarted, if HAProxy is 
restarted, or if there is basically any interruption in the connection between 
the clients and HAProxy.

Finally, its worth noting that in our prod environment we are using F5 load 
balancers and we don't see this problem occur for TCP timeouts, which is the 
most common source of this problem in our lab environment.

Thanks in advance.
