This makes it really easy to have pfSense control the gateway and load balancing. There are a couple of tricks to getting it all up and running. Although everything looked good in the webgui HAProxy just wouldn’t start. After logging in it seemed that there were 2 problems, firstly as mentioned in the forums the IP addresses must be an interface or CARP addresses not Virtual IPs for HAProxy to work and secondly the file descriptor limits have to be increased.https://www.davehall.com.au/blog/2010/03/13/solr-replication-load-balancing-haproxy-and-drupal/Sat, 13 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0000https://www.davehall.com.au/blog/2010/03/13/solr-replication-load-balancing-haproxy-and-drupal/I use Apache Solr for search on several projects, including a few with Drupal. Solr has built in support for replication and load balancing, unfortunately the load balancing is done on the client side and works best when using a persistent connection, which doesn’t make a lot of sense for PHP based webapps. In the case of Drupal, there has been a long discussion on a patch in the issue queue to enable Solr’s native load balancing, but things seem to have stalled.
