Hopefully a simple question. I apologize if this has been covered before. I'm learning haproxy and overall seems very straightforward and simple. However I am curious what the difference is between using frontend/backend and listen config blocks? My assumption is that listen is just simpler, for basic configurations, while frontend/backend is more advanced, allowing you to dynamically switch backends or share backends, etc. Is that it in a nutshell?
Thanks,
Al
