haproxy 1.5 specific source IP address show <NOSRV> 503 SC in haproxy log

  • 772

I have an unusual problem (as everyone does on this site). I have HAProxy listening on port 80 and 443. I am offloading SSL encryption to HAproxy and passing all traffic to my web servers on port 80. There is a firewall in front of my HAProxy server with NAT rules pointing to my internal listening IP addresses of HAProxy. We are getting an unusual 503 message for random IP source addresses over SSL on port 443. Other random IP addresses are working fine over SSL. Our service is an API and most traffic goes through but a very small percentage gets a 503.

Here is an HAProxy log entry that works and one that doesn't working:

localhost haproxy[5404]: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:54787 [15/Jun/2016:22:46:57.592] https_in_ssl~ http_www2/web1 32/0/0/232/264 200 747 - - ---- 5/4/0/1/0 0/0 "POST /webservices/ourService.asmx HTTP/1.1"

not working:

localhost haproxy[5404]: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:55494 [15/Jun/2016:22:46:39.514] https_in_ssl~ https_in_ssl/<NOSRV> -1/-1/-1/-1/227 503 212 - - SC-- 3/2/0/0/0 0/0 "POST /webservices/ourService.asmx HTTP/1.0"

One thing I notice is the front-end and back-end are the same in the not working log entry.

Here is my config file:

503-error haproxy

1 Answers

  1. See the SC-- in the log entry?

    This is a problem with your back-end server, or a network issue between HAProxy and the back-end... not on the front side, and not related to the IP address of the connecting client.

    From "Session state at disconnect" in the docs:

    SC The [back-end] server or an equipment between it and haproxy explicitly refused the TCP connection (the proxy received a TCP RST or an ICMP message in return). Under some circumstances, it can also be the network stack telling the proxy that the server is unreachable (eg: no route, or no ARP response on local network). When this happens in HTTP mode, the status code is likely a 502 or 503 here.
