I've got haproxy to work for us. But right now there are two haproxy processes running. One for HTTP and the other for TCP (RTMP). I've tried to configure both proxies in one configuration file but haproxy only handles HTTP then.
My configuration file:
global
log 127.0.0.1 local0
log 127.0.0.1 local1 notice
#daemon
debug
user haproxy
group haproxy
maxconn 4096
defaults
log global
mode tcp
option tcplog
option dontlognull
option redispatch
retries 3
maxconn 2000
contimeout 10000
clitimeout 50000
srvtimeout 50000
listen http :80
mode tcp
balance roundrobin
server h1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80 check
server h2 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80 check
listen rtmp :1935
mode tcp
balance roundrobin
server s1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1935 check
server s2 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1935 check
This doesn't work for me. It only works when I split the configuration in two (one HTTP, one RTMP) and start two haproxy processes.
Ok, I have to answer my own question one more time. Yes, it is possible and my configuration file works. The problem was somewhere outside of HAProxy. Mea culpa.
