Default server status on HAProxy restart

Help!
1

Hi,

I’m having some problems trying to set the initial status of the backend servers on HAProxy restart.
What I want:

  • backend servers start as DOWN on HAProxy restart (or clean start), and will be marked UP/DOWN after the checks are run the number of times configured.

What I see:

  • backend server start as UP on HAProxy restart (or clean start), and will be marked DOWN after the checks are run…

How can I force the server to start in a DOWN status. I have tried the “disabled” option, but the I have to manually bring them out of that status, so it’s not exactly what I want.

Thanks!
