I have attached a patch which will add on every http request a new
header 'X-Original-To'. If you have HAProxy running in transparent mode
with a big number of SQUID servers behind it, it is very nice to have
the original destination ip as a common header to make decisions based
on it.
The whole thing is configurable with a new option 'originalto'. I have
updated the sourcecode as well as the documentation. The 'haproxy-en.txt'
and 'haproxy-fr.txt' files are untouched, due to lack of my french
language knowledge. ;)
Also the patch adds this header for IPv4 only. I haven't any IPv6 test
environment running here and don't know if getsockopt() with SO_ORIGINAL_DST
will work on IPv6. If someone knows it and wants to test it I can modify
the diff. Feel free to ask me questions or things which should be changed. :)

* add an architecture guide to the documentation
* released without any changes
* increased default BUFSIZE to 16 kB to accept max headers of 8 kB which is
compatible with Apache. This limit can be configured in the makefile now.
Thanks to Eric Fehr for the checks.
* added a per-server "source" option which now makes it possible to bind to
a different source for each (potentially identical) server.
* changed cookie-based server selection slightly to allow several servers to
share a same cookie, thus making it possible to associate backup servers to
live servers and ease soft-stop for maintenance periods. (Alexander Lazic)
* added the cookie 'prefix' mode which makes it possible to use persistence
with thin clients which support only one cookie. The server name is prefixed
before the application cookie, and restore back.
* fixed the order of servers within an instance to match documentation. Now
the servers are *really* used in the order of their declaration. This is
particularly important when multiple backup servers are in use.
