READ ME FIRST¶
Please read Perlbal::Manual::Configuration first for a better explanation on how
to configure Perlbal. This document will make much more sense after reading
that.
Configuring Perlbal as a Selector¶
The "selector" role allows you to create a service that selects to
which other service a request should be sent to.
Here's an example of how to do that with the help of Perlbal::Plugin::VHosts:
LOAD vhosts
CREATE SERVICE selector_service
SET listen = 0.0.0.0:80
SET role = selector
SET plugins = vhosts
VHOST *.site1.com = service1
VHOST *.site2.com = service2
ENABLE selector_service
In this case, requests to both "site1" and "site2" are
received by "selector_service", which then sends requests for
"site1" to "service1" and requests for "site2"
to "service2".
Depending on your needs, you may want to use an existing plugin (e.g.,
Perlbal::Plugin::Vhosts, Perlbal::Plugin::VPaths) or create your own (see
"selector" under Perlbal::Manual::Plugins).
