Hi,

The OR function in acls doesn't work as you expected it to do.
Here, you're looking for either api, or, path_beg, -i, api => all of
them in the beginning of the host header.

You can give a try to the configuration below:
acl is_api hdr_beg(host) -i api
acl is_api path_beg       -i api
acl is_www hdr_sub(host) -i .somewhere.
use_backend api if is_api
use_backend www if is_www OR !is_api
