=== HAproxy Nodes

HAProxy is a very fast and reliable solution offering high availability, load balancing, and proxying
for TCP and HTTP-based applications. It is particularly suited for web sites crawling under very high loads
while needing persistence or Layer 7 processing. Supporting tens of thousands of connections is clearly
realistic with today's hardware.

For installing HAproxy on your nodes, you should consider its http://haproxy.1wt.eu/#docs[official documentation].
Also, you have to consider that this service should not be a single point of failure, so you need at least two
nodes running HAproxy.

Here is an example for HAproxy configuration file:
----
global
  chroot  /var/lib/haproxy
  daemon
  group  haproxy
  maxconn  4000
  pidfile  /var/run/haproxy.pid
  user  haproxy

defaults
  log  global
  maxconn  8000
  option  redispatch
  retries  3
  timeout  http-request 10s
  timeout  queue 1m
  timeout  connect 10s
  timeout  client 1m
  timeout  server 1m
  timeout  check 10s
