Hi, for my configuration I wanted to use a HorizontalPodAutoscaler in Kube to scale up coraza pods if needed

I have a coraza deployment communicating with an external HAProxy through the NodePort service

The thing is that HAProxy keeps the TCP connection with the first few pods as long as there are connections (so always) and new pods are never getting the chance of communicating with HAProxy.
I tried a bunch of options for the HAProxy backend but none worked (except having extremely low timeouts but that isn't a valid solution.)

Is there any option I could use to make this work?
