It is worth while to have a lab for this sort of thing on your local machine. It can all be on a single machine with say two apache virtual hosts listening on different ports (8080 and 8081) and haproxy on the machine itself as well.
That being said if I am not mistaken they are evaluated from top to bottom. It is not the order of the ACLs but the order of when ACLs are evaluated. So in this case the order of the use_backend statements. So you would want to switch the order of your use_backend statements because the "/a" is also true for "/a/b" match, whereas "/a/b" is not a match for "/a". My disclaimer is that I haven't tested this either ;-) -Kyle On Tue, Dec 14, 2010 at 4:33 AM, Timh B <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi all, > > Could anyone from the top of your head tell me if ACLs apply in a specific > order?
