I would ask you if HAProxy load balancer can be live injectioned (reconfigured without restarting the balancer) without losing connections.

Reconfiguring haproxy can be done by modifying the configuration file and then sending SIGHUP to the running process. Usually, you can use /etc/init.d/haproxy reload. This should do graceful reload and not drop your connections.

You can disable/enable servers using the socket file.. but I don't think you are able to add remove servers. The newer versions of haproxy when you send a SIGHUP to it will gracefuly reload and not even reset the stats when you change the config.
