Barracuda 340 and HAProxy Working Together

I have been looking on google for anyone that is using the Barracuda 340 and some tricks in the setup and nothing.  The documents on the load balancer is rotten.  I will say the support people are great and a great help in the configuration of the unit. If you configure one setting wrong and BAM broken service.  

I have two MySql servers setup in a master master configuration.  I wanted to have both servers able to take connections so I setup HAProxy 1.4.11 to manage the services.

Web servers are using Barracuda 340 Fireware v3.5.0.008 configuration with Layer 7 on both port 80 and 443 and MySql services are managed with HAProxy 1.4.11 configuration for the load balancing connections:

Again the Weather Network is saying we are going to get ALOT of snow and guess what so far this year they have been wrong.. yes we have gotten snow for sure this year but not as much as they have stated in the last 4 months.. if we got half the snow they suggested we would have about 100 CM out there on the ground this year and I am sure we are not even close to that.. but to get better RATING they are “GUESSING” again that we will get 40 to 50 CM of snow Friday.  HONESTLY my bet is yes we get snow.. and rain and it will be like 10 cm.  The Weather Network is on the air to make money that is the facts

If you want to review weather maps here is a great site to do that.

Pictures in January 2011

I love taking pictures and I love taking alot of them, but this year has been busy with the day to day of life and the darn cold of winter keeping me out.  I find now that I am 25 years old (hmmm that is right… give or take a couple of years) that the cold kills me.  so here is a couple of outdoor pictures and some indoor photoshop jobs on the cold cold days :)

Danger Danger Health PEI

Hey everybody remember the old ER at the QEH and how they had 5 rooms in the back and a small waiting room.. Well guess what the new services are larger in size and larger in waiting room. I was out at the QEH for many many.. (add a couple more many) hours  yesterday and they had 60 patients in the back and about 20 patients out front with the same size staff they had before in doctors… The only thing that has changed is that they can hide you in a room in the back for 3 hours making the so called wait time look less but honestly we got problems out there and the answer is for Health PEI to LISTEN TO THE STAFF at the QEH and build a system that works for the DOCTORS because they are the ones that have to provide ER services. If the doctors are happy than the patients will benefit and that is the bottom line!

I don’t need snow to know it is Christmas

_DSC0118 Christmas season is here and I am not feeling it all the time, but I think it is the nice weather we are having here on PEI. NO SNOW.. I do like this as I can get in my nightly walks with IYAH and we get the alone time to talk and enjoy each others company.

I was at my last concert at St Jean’s school :( It has been 12 years we have been going to it with Teshia when she was there and than Dylan right after that.  That is the perfect measure of Christmas I enjoyed it and will miss it next year.   I have posted some pictures of it as well as a picture of my dog Prince Monty of the Royalty of East.   He is doing very well now and I can thank his godmother Leah :)    I think Prince Monty owes her a big dog kiss!

I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and hoping you all have a wonderful new year.

Merry Christmas

Hello All… looks like Christmas is almost here and it has been a tough one so far :( Myself I found out I have Type II diabetes, gull stones, and a fatty liver all this on the day after my 40th .. hmm I mean 27th birthday. I am doing great I am eating better, eating more often and start to get better exercise.

My dog Monty damaged his back and had to get work done to fix it and he is recovering great almost has 90% of physical movement back in his legs.. he almost did not make this but I am very happy to see him on the go again and loving life!

I have lost two family member in a week! two funerals in a 7 day period we lost my Aunt my fathers last sister and less than a week later lost my wife’s great uncle both will be missed greatly by my families.

I just want to turn this around and get back to the love Christmas and hope this is the end of the dark clouds for 2010.
