I am trying implement the following setup
HA -|
|- Redis1
|- Redis2
At any time only one of the redis instances should serve the incoming requests.
Going by the documentation, it seems that you can disable a server dynamically and HA would stop directing the traffic to the disabled server. While this worked for new client connections, existing client connections are still served content from the disabled server. But if I kill the redis instance, even the existing client connections are redirected to the other instance.
Is it possible to achieve this behavior without killing the instance?
Heres my HA config:
global
stats socket /opt/haproxy/admin.sock mode 660 level admin
stats socket ipv4@*:19999 level admin
defaults
log global
mode tcp
listen myproxy
mode tcp
bind *:4444
balance roundrobin
server redis1 127.0.0.1:6379 check
server redis2 127.0.0.1:7379 check
