thanks, Unai for the follow-up!!! You know what, I just did a dump myself, and unbelievably, this is happening here as well. What gives? Initially, I was thinking that perhaps you had haproxy in tcp mode, but no, even in mode http, this thing happens as well. I'm happy, obviously - although like you, I dont exactly get how this could be happening.. Any idea, Willy?
