Re: HAProxy and FreeBSD EADDRINUSE

Hi all, some more informations

from FreeSBD src code (/usr/src/sys/netinet/tcp_usrreq.c) FreeBSD 7.1-PRERELEASE

/*

• Common subroutine to open a TCP connection to remote host specified
• by struct sockaddr_in in mbuf *nam. Call in_pcbbind to assign a local

• to choose a local host address (interface). If there is an existing
• incarnation of the same connection in TIME-WAIT state and if the remote
• host was sending CC options and if the connection duration was < MSL, then
• truncate the previous TIME-WAIT state and proceed.
• Initialize connection parameters and enter SYN-SENT state. */ static int tcp_connect(struct tcpcb *tp, struct sockaddr *nam, struct thread *td) { struct inpcb *inp = tp->t_inpcb, *oinp; struct socket *so = inp->inp_socket; struct in_addr laddr; u_short lport; int error;

According to:
http://www.madore.org/~david/computers/connect-intr.html

And:
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/freebsd-net/2007/11/27/451121

It seems that it's common problem in FreeBSD (at minimum).

Mabe there should be some sort of connect-retry functionality implemented in this area (f.e try 2-3 times)?
