Hi, As Igor stated, you can use content from this blog article: http://blog.haproxy.com/2015/01/26/web-application-name-to-backend-mapping-in-haproxy/ very usefull if you want to map many host header to the same backend. If you want a single host header per backend, then, simply use use_backend %[req.hdr(host),lower Then each backend must use the host header as the backend name and you're done, dynamic routing with a single use_backend rule, whatever the number of backends you have.
