+cdist-type__haproxy_dualstack(7)
+================================
+
+
+NAME
+----
+cdist-type__haproxy_dualstack - Proxy services from a dual-stack server
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This (singleton) type installs and configures haproxy to act as a dual-stack
+proxy for single-stack services.
+
+This can be useful to add IPv4 support to IPv6-only services while only using
+one IPv4 for many such services.
+
+By default this type uses the plain TCP proxy mode, which means that there is no
+need for TLS termination on this host when SNI is supported.
+This also means that proxied services will not receive the client's IP address,
+but will see the proxy's IP address instead (that of `$__target_host`).
+
+This can be solved by using the PROXY protocol, but do take into account that,
+e.g. nginx cannot serve both regular HTTP(S) and PROXY protocols on the same
+port, so you will need to use other ports for that.
+
+As a recommendation in this type: use TCP ports 8080 and 591 respectively to
+serve HTTP and HTTPS using the PROXY protocol.
+
+See the EXAMPLES for more details.
+
+
+OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+v4proxy
+    Proxy incoming IPv4 connections to the equivalent IPv6 endpoint.
+    In its simplest use, it must be a NAME with an `AAAA` DNS entry, which is
+    the IP address actually providing the proxied services.
+    The full format of this argument is:
+    `[proxy:]NAME[[:PROTOCOL_1=PORT_1]...[:PROTOCOL_N=PORT_N]]`
+    Where starting with `proxy:` determines that the PROXY protocol must be
+    used and each `:PROTOCOL=PORT` (e.g. `:http=8080` or `:https=591`) is a PORT
+    override for the given PROTOCOL (see `--protocol`), if not present the
+    PROTOCOL's default port will be used.
+
+
+v6proxy
+    Proxy incoming IPv6 connections to the equivalent IPv4 endpoint.
+    In its simplest use, it must be a NAME with an `A` DNS entry, which is
+    the IP address actually providing the proxied services.
+    See `--v4proxy` for more options and details.
+
+protocol
+    Can be passed multiple times or as a space-separated list of protocols.
+    Currently supported protocols are: `http`, `https`, `imaps`, `smtps`.
+    This defaults to: `http https imaps smtps`.
+
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # Proxy the IPv6-only services so IPv4-only clients can access them
+    # This uses HAProxy's TCP mode for http, https, imaps and smtps
+    __haproxy_dualstack \
+        --v4proxy ipv6.chat \
+        --v4proxy matrix.ungleich.ch
+
+    # Proxy the IPv6-only HTTP(S) services so IPv4-only clients can access them
+    # Note this means that the backend IPv6-only server will only see
+    # the IPv6 address of the haproxy host managed by cdist, which can be
+    # troublesome if this information is relevant for analytics/security/...
+    # See the PROXY example below
+    __haproxy_dualstack \
+        --protocol http --protocol https \
+        --v4proxy ipv6.chat \
+        --v4proxy matrix.ungleich.ch
+
+    # Use the PROXY protocol to proxy the IPv6-only HTTP(S) services enabling
+    # IPv4-only clients to access them while maintaining the client's IP address
+    __haproxy_dualstack \
+        --protocol http --protocol https \
+        --v4proxy proxy:ipv6.chat:http=8080:https=591 \
+        --v4proxy proxy:matrix.ungleich.ch:http=8080:https=591
+    # Note however that the PROXY protocol is not compatible with regular
+    # HTTP(S) protocols, so your nginx will have to listen on different ports
+    # with the PROXY settings.
+    # Note that you will need to restrict access to the 8080 port to prevent
+    # Client IP spoofing.
+    # This can be something like:
+    # server {
+    #     # listen for regular HTTP connections
+    #     listen [::]:80 default_server;
+    #     listen 80 default_server;
+    #     # listen for PROXY HTTP connections
+    #     listen [::]:8080 proxy_protocol;
+    #     # Accept the Client's IP from the PROXY protocol
+    #     real_ip_header proxy_protocol;
+    # }
