After adding the line to /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg as part of creating a transparent proxy,

    source 0.0.0.0 usesrc clientip

restarting haproxy starts giving an error

~# service haproxy reload
 * Reloading haproxy haproxy                                                     
       [ALERT]     230/153724 (1140) : [/usr/sbin/haproxy.main()] Some configuration options require full privileges, so global.uid cannot be changed.

I'm already running service haproxy reload as root. What else do we have to do? Thank you!
