Yep. The hard part about this is that even with host headers is that we don't know which backends to send requests to. We need a load balancer service that acts as a reverse proxy. Of course, we don't really want to write this ourselves. Thankfully, there's a proof of concept openstack service for this as a component of quantum. I believe HAProxy is one of the first supported services. It's likely not acting as a proxy, but we can probably write a plugin to make this work. - Ryan _______________________________________________ Labs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/labs-l
