5.4. Frontend Settings

The frontend settings configure the servers' listening sockets for client connection requests. A typical HAProxy configuration of the frontend may look like the following:

frontend  main
  bind 192.168.0.10:80
  default_backend app

frontend  main
  bind 192.168.0.10:80
  default_backend app

The frontend called main is configured to the 192.168.0.10 IP address and listening on port 80 using the bind parameter. Once connected, the use backend specifies that all sessions connect to the app back end.
