So IIUC you want to periodically discover the set of radosgw backends
to fill haproxy.cfg, then reload the haproxy daemons. That would be
useful to (a) keep the set of radosgw hosts up to date and (b) to
provide a high quality haproxy configuration OOTB.

The stackoverflow link you sent is about another interesting use-case
of haproxy -- mapping different urls to different backends. Indeed we
used this in the past to migrate between ceph clusters, bucket by
bucket. And we still use it today to redirect a few very busy buckets
to an isolated set of radosgw's. I can share our config if that helps
explain how this works [2]. And maybe that config can already start a
debate about which are the best settings for an haproxy frontend (I
won't claim ours is generally correct -- happy to hear about how it
could be improved).

I don't know if the bucket mapping concept is generally applicable.
Maybe this haproxy-agent should focus on configuring a single backend
populated with the radosgw's, and leave more complex configurations up
to their admins?

(BTW, we generate this haproxy.cfg dynamically via puppet, which fills
a template by discovering the radosgw hosts in our PuppetDB).

Cheers, Dan
