only a frontend can switch to a backend. However you can combine the
operations if needed :
frontend xxxx
bind :80
mode tcp
option tcplog
tcp-request inspect-delay 5s
tcp-request content accept if HTTP
acl site1 hdr(host) -i www.site1.com
use_backend http_backend if HTTP site1
default_backend tcp_backend
Or alternatively you can get rid of the TCP connections earlier and
only process HTTP :
frontend xxxx
bind :80
mode tcp
option tcplog
tcp-request inspect-delay 5s
tcp-request content accept if HTTP
use_backend tcp_backend if ! HTTP
# now we only have HTTP
use_backend http_site1 if { hdr(host) -i www.site1.com }
use_backend http_site2 if { hdr(host) -i www.site2.com }
