Re: haproxy include config

Holger's config utility inspired me to write my own that fit my needs a bit better. It's called haproxy_join and basically does the job of combining configs for you, creates a backup of the old config and etc.

The code is available at:

http://github.com/joewilliams/haproxy_join/tree/master

And the obligatory blog post is at:
