Well, it's not that it doesn't work but we have approximately 1200 domains
(that we actively develop on) and it doesn't seem very logical to hardcode
each domain in. I was wondering if there was a workaround for the lines
below so instead of using example.com:80 using a variable such as $HOST:80
(whichever host the end user is attempting to connect to).
backend production
mode http
option forwardfor
balance source
option httpclose
server prod1 example.com:80 <http://example.com/>
