yes it is possible. You could find examples in configuration.txt
and in the examples directory. Basically, it would work like this :
frontend XXX
bind :80
...
acl reserved_method POST DELETE PUT
use_backend reserved_backend if reserved_method
default_backend normal_backend
backend normal_backend
...
server srv1
server srv2
backend reserved_backend
...
server srv1
server srv2
And so on. You get the idea.
