Sorry, you would need to provide more information before anyone can answer this question. How are you setting up the Redis cluster? How are you configuring HAproxy? etc.. Can you provide some more detail here? Thanks.

Ah, OK. What about this part of your question? `will every site added in haproxy be cached by redis`? What sites are you referring to here? Are you using KB with tc Server to put session data in Redis?

If you are configuring HAProxy to be a reverse proxy for a set of web sites, it won't care about the session information. A reverse proxy doesn't need the session data for anything, it's just forwarding the traffic along.

 

The actual site/application is what manages the session data. This is also what you would configure to store session data in Redis.

 

For example, if I have HAProxy in front of Tomcat. Tomcat is running my Java app. Tomcat is what stores session data. Tomcat is what would talk to Redis to make sure session data is safely stored in Redis.

in case of a data center and haproxy is used as reverse proxy to redirect sites, will redis recive data from every sites on haproxy?
