[rabbitmq-discuss] Load balancing connections to a rabbitmq cluster

Sun Feb 23 12:57:59 GMT 2014

Thanks MK for the prompt reply.

I understand that haproxy load balances the incoming connections. But what
about the case where all the connections are established on only one node
(due to failure of the other node). Can it redistribute the connections
when the failed rabbitmq node comes up?
