1. To restart this frontend:

   haproxy
   frontend www
     bind *:80
     default_backend servers
   backend servers
     server s1 192.168.50.20:80

   haproxy
   frontend www
     bind *:80
     default_backend servers
   backend servers
     server s1 192.168.50.20:80

2. Run the enable frontend command with the name of the frontend:

   bash
   echo "enable frontend www" | \
     sudo socat stdio tcp4-connect:127.0.0.1:9999

   bash
   echo "enable frontend www" | \
     sudo socat stdio tcp4-connect:127.0.0.1:9999

The load balancer marks the frontend with status “OPEN” on the stats page.
