Hi,

I have the following haproxy front and back end defined in production, haproxy is currently serving the traffic without having any issues.

DNS for the application “[lgshipsvc.market.net](http://lgshipsvc.market.net)” pointed to ipaddress of the load balancer.

**HAPROXY config:**  
frontend lgshipsvc  
bind \*:8083  
bind \*:8084 ssl crt /etc/haproxy/certs/\*marketing.pem ciphers AES+EECDH:AES8+EDH force-tlsv12 no-sslv3  
mode http  
use\_backend lgshipsvc

frontend lgshipsvcnettcp  
bind \*:808  
use\_backend lgshipsvcnettcp

backend lgshipsvc  
balance roundrobin  
option http-server-close  
option httpchk GET /service.svc HTTP/1.0\r\nHost:\ [lgshipsvc.marketing.net](http://lgshipsvc.marketing.net)  
server prod-market6 XX.XXX.XX.XX:8083 check inter 30s  
server prod-market7 XX.XXX.XX.XX:8083 check inter 30s

**Question:**  
how the haproxy serving traffic when the frontend for this application doesn’t have the ACL defined?  
(The application is listening on port 8083/8084/808)

Correct me if I am wrong, the incoming requests for haproxy has to be on port 8083/8084/808 - this will be the only way that haproxy can serve the traffic.
