Hi,

I'm currently using a config below. I'd like to be able to drop a server out of the pool for maintenance, at the moment I am removing srv1 from the config file and restarting haproxy with the -sf (reload) option. Is there a better way I can tell haproxy to stop sending requests to a server without restarting the binary? Does haproxy watch the config file and act on certain changes?

Thanks,

Matt
