Hi,

I’ve got a question about haproxy `seamless reload` : when this operation is perform does all backend servers connections be reset ?

Our use case:

- we use Voyager Ingress for Kubernetes ([https://appscode.com/products/voyager/](https://appscode.com/products/voyager/)) this last use haproxy to  
perform balancing
- we have configure each servers backend with `maxconn 1` (we only what one connection to be handle by one pod)
- when a new pod is schedule, Voyager update backend servers then do a haproxy seamless reload which cause that we lost previous connections states for servers

Thanks

Sébastien Kurtzemann
