A customer asked me the other day how to set up Squid Proxy Protocol on their Loadbalancer appliance.
When you have users depending on Windows Terminal Services for their main desktop, it's a good idea to have more than one Terminal Server. RDP, however, is not an easy protocol to load balance.
I've previously blogged about how to get TPROXY and HAProxy working nicely together, but what if you want to terminate SSL traffic on the load balancer to use HAProxy to insert cookies in the standard HTTP stream to the backend servers?
If you use HAProxy as the load balancer then all of the backend servers see the traffic coming from the IP address of the load balancer.
