Struct server has gathered lots of informations over the time, but
it's better for clarity and performance to group those information
by usage, the most common ones at the top and the least ones at the
bottom.
Patch from Fabrice Dulaunoy. Explanation below, and script
merged in examples/.
This patch allow to put a different address in the check part for each
server (and not only a specific port)
I need this feature because I've a complex settings where, when a specific
farm goes down, I need to switch a set of other farm either if these other
farm behave perfectly well.
For that purpose, I've made a small PERL daemon with some REGEX or PORT
test which allow me to test a bunch of thing.
Using the cttproxy kernel patch, it's possible to bind to any source
address. It is highly recommended to use the 03-natdel patch with the
other ones.
A new keyword appears as a complement to the "source" keyword : "usesrc".
The source address is mandatory and must be valid on the interface which
will see the packets. The "usesrc" option supports "client" (for full
client_ip:client_port spoofing), "client_ip" (for client_ip spoofing)
and any 'IP[:port]' combination to pretend to be another machine.
Right now, the source binding is missing from server health-checks if
set to another address. It must be implemented (think restricted firewalls).
The doc is still missing too.
The files are now stored under :
- include/haproxy for the generic includes
- include/types.h for the structures needed within prototypes
- include/proto.h for function prototypes and inline functions
- src/*.c for the C files
Most include files are now covered by LGPL. A last move still needs
to be done to put inline functions under GPL and not LGPL.
Version has been set to 1.3.0 in the code but some control still
needs to be done before releasing.
