		<description><![CDATA[Hi,

Just thought I&#039;d let you know that the links to the kernel headers no longer seem to work. I had a browse around the download area and can&#039;t see them anyway. Unfortunately we&#039;re a bit tied on v6.8.

Thanks]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just noticed that Kemp have upgraded their &lt;a href=&quot;http://kemptechnologies.com/blog/whats-new-in-loadmaster-release-7-0-4/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; latest version&lt;/a&gt; to have the same kind of graphs available from their system overview.
Loadbalancer.org have had graphs for 9 years and sub-vs support for 5 years.
Still competition is always healthy!
Ps. Loadbalancer.org don&#039;t usually recommend that people use URL matching for different backends as it gets really messy (manual config)... you are much better off getting an extra public IP address or two to split your services....]]></description>

Not a problem, here is the output: 

Available polling systems :
     sepoll : pref=400,  test result OK
      epoll : pref=300,  test result OK
       poll : pref=200,  test result OK
     select : pref=150,  test result OK
Total: 4 (4 usable), will use sepoll.
Using sepoll() as the polling mechanism.

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Gilbert,
Really sorry I did a bit of a boob in my last reply.
Can you please do the same again but this time instead of the last debug command I sent can you run &#039;/usr/bin/haproxy -d -f /etc/haproxy.cfg&#039; and send those results over please.
Your HAProxy build looks fine though.

		<description><![CDATA[Ben,

Thanks very much for your feedback. The old style current connection counts by RIP/VIP are still available under &lt;i&gt;Reports &gt; Layer 4 Status&lt;/i&gt; and we will listen very carefully to our customer reaction to the change from numbers to graphs. We definitely have sort and drill down options on the system overview as top priorities on the development list. Would sort by name suffice for your situation? Would you like any other functionality like group by service type, method, port, health status or pool? Custom index position for each VIP/RIP? I&#039;ll get the dev team to have a brain storm on this....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Please don&#039;t remove the L4 connection count - I realise it&#039;s not the most meaningful of figures, but it is useful. Hard to say what the new functionality is like given the missing graph that you don&#039;t have. One other thing I&#039;d really love is an option to sort the service list by name. We have 50+ VIPs, and it&#039;s getting a bit challenging...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Gilbert,
Sorry the blog has a problem with double dash and single dash looking the same so I just assumed that it was a double (my bad).
Anyhow, I must admit I&#039;m running HAProxy 1.5 dev 17 personally, if from the CLI you run &#039;haproxy -vv&#039; (single dash) what does this output.

If its something like this:
# haproxy -vv
HA-Proxy version 1.5-dev17 2012/12/28
Copyright 2000-2012 Willy Tarreau &lt;w@1wt.eu&gt;

Build options :
  TARGET  = linux26
  CPU     = generic
  CC      = gcc
  CFLAGS  = -O2 -g -fno-strict-aliasing
  OPTIONS = USE_LINUX_TPROXY=1 USE_STATIC_PCRE=1

Default settings :
  maxconn = 2000, bufsize = 16384, maxrewrite = 8192, maxpollevents = 200

Encrypted password support via crypt(3): yes
Built without zlib support (USE_ZLIB not set)
Compression algorithms supported : identity
Built without OpenSSL support (USE_OPENSSL not set)

Available polling systems :
      epoll : pref=300,  test result OK
       poll : pref=200,  test result OK
     select : pref=150,  test result OK
Total: 3 (3 usable), will use epoll.

Then you should be alright. Also it may be worth stopping HAProxy and running it in debugmode from the CLI with &#039;haproxy -d haproxy.cfg&#039; (replacing my haproxy.cfg with the location and filename of your config file) this will output all the current status of HAProxy you should then try to connect to the listening IP Address stop the debug and have a read of the outputted debug. If you need any help with that please let us know but obviously replace any real world IP&#039;s with Private addresses to protect yourself.

		<description><![CDATA[Afternoon Scott, 

I resolved the iptables problem, I needed a -- (double dash) not a single - (dash) for the --set-mark entry.  

After fixing this and allowing port 80, I was finally able to use haproxy with iptables running. 

Once everything was verified, I added  ‘source 0.0.0.0 usesrc clientip’ and again was met again with a 503 error when trying to browse to the website.  

I&#039;m running 1.4.7, I didn&#039;t see it in your run down, but do I need to compile iptables with tproxy?  

Cheers,
Gilbert]]></description>
