Hi, I'm wondering is there a way to define an ACL so that it can be referenced from multiple front-ends? Or, to ask the question another way - why can't ACL's be defined in defaults?
My scenario is that I am using HAProxy for Layer 7 content switching based on URL, and I have about 5 front-ends and about 100 back-ends. Based on the URL, each front-end selects which backend should process the request - "use_backend if ....". So I've got 100 ACLs, one each for the URL pattern corresponding to the traffic destined for the particular backend. The 5 front-ends separate incoming requests by location and user type, and different front-ends have access to different sub-sets of the back-ends. Currently I have to repeat the definition of the ACLs across each of these 5 front-ends. Is there a way to define my ACLs in one place and reference them across each of the 5 front-ends? E.g. I would have thought I could just define all the ACLs in defaults, but this doesn't appear to be possible?
