Hi!
The new feature to dynamically select a backend has been going great for me.
I use it like this and it all works like a charm :
use_backend bk_%[hdr(host),host_to_backend.mapfile] if TRUE
Now I need help with a situation. Some of the servers meant for a particular
hostname need path replacement. i.e. reqrep/resrep.
e.g. I have a set of 5 servers. While three of them need to be balanced for any
<hostname>/service1 requests, the other two need to be load balanced for
<hostname>/service2 requests. How can I dynamically choose between two backends
depending on hostname+path_beg?
Can I use something like this?
use_backend bk_%[hdr(host),host_to_backend.mapfile]_%[path]
where a request to <hostname>/service1 would mean look for a backend named
bk_hostname_service1.
Clearly it will not work like that because <hostname>/service1/login.php will
break the backend lookup.
Advice/suggestions please. Thanks.
