HAProxy is a free, very fast and reliable solution offering high availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications. It is particularly suited for very high traffic web sites. Note that a default configuration file is no longer provided at /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg. See /usr/doc/haproxy-*/examples for some sample configuration files. The directory also contains example files for logging. lua53 is an optional dependency for HAProxy. Pass LUA=yes to this script to enable lua support. This HAProxy package is compiled with Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE) version 2 by default. If you want to use PCRE version 1, pass OLDPCRE=yes to this script.
