 Description   

Hi,

is it possible to implement "transparent-proxy" feature in maxscale ?

https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtradb-cluster/5.5/howtos/haproxy.html

It means basically, at new connection to backend from maxscale:
Sending to the db backend the originating IP via a protocol, so that the original IP can be displayed in show processlist, and used in authentification definition.

Currently, only percona server supports this feature.

Thanks !
Joffrey

I too would like to see the proxy protocol available for maxscale. It's a bit of a pain to manage 2 user accounts/ACL's for every connection to maxscale. having the proxy protocol would effectively cut the our ACL's in half.

Not really practical with current server implementations. Revisit this issue if/when more servers support this.
