I want to show how you can config Load Balancing with Haproxy on Ubuntu 14.04. More info about Load Balancing you can find here, something about Haproxy you find here.

What we need to config Load Balancing:
1.  Load Balancer(Haproxy) on Ubuntu 14.04 – IP 192.168.1.15
2. Web1 on Ubuntu 14.04 – IP 192.168.1.16

Below screen our test network:


 1. Config Load Balancer/ Web1/Web2:

sudo passwd root 
Enter new UNIX password:             
Retype new UNIX password:            
passwd: password updated successfully

sudo nano /etc/hostname
write inside the file haproxy
These same steps we must do on Web1 and Web2, of cource we must write Web1 and Web3 on hostname file.


2.Config Haproxy:
