Description

I've just installed and configured an ActiveMQ Artemis 2.23.0 Cluster and was looking to use HAProxy as a Load Balancer for the STOMP connections, in order to avoid a client-side load balancing configuration.

I was successful in implementing it, however I was unable to set it up using PROXY protocol an so all the client IP addresses in the Artemis Web Console appear as the Load Balancer's IP address.

Is there any configuration I can add to the Acceptors so they work with PROXY protocol or is it just not supported? And if so, would it be possible to implement this support, or is it just something  not wanted/interesting?
