HAproxy load balancing without reverse proxy

Help!
1

Hi I’m new in HAproxy,

I want to load balance my server 192.168.1.2/myweb & 192.168.1.3/myweb

my HAproxy IP is 192.168.1.1

this my configuration

backend myweb
option forwardfor
balance roundrobin
mode http
server ubuntu1 192.168.1.2:8890
server ubuntu2 192.168.1.3:8890

If possible i want HAproxy to forward my traffic to the real server, rather than browsing from HAproxy server.

for example like using: http-request redirect location http://192.168.1.2/myweb or http-request redirect prefix http:///myweb
any suggestion?

And when one of those servers fails half of your customers can no longer use your service? Because that is what you are asking.

No, this is not supported. Haproxy is a load-balancer, not a random redirect generator.

if one of those server fail. HAproxy should redirect to web server no 2 right?

How should haproxy do that, if it isn’t involved anymore in the traffic flow between client and server?

No, this doesn’t make any sense and haproxy does not support doing that.
