AWS Route53 routing wordpress subdirectories to different EC2 instances

I have domain setup like http://www.example.com/in which is a wordpress multisite setup and hosted on a AWS EC2 instance.
I have to make another similar setup with url http://www.example.com/uk but on another EC2 instance.

The domain www.example.com is routed to only one IP of first instance.

Can anyone advise on how I should setup this routing to make this scenario on Amazon Route 53?

Assuming you are serving your site using apache you can add a .htaccess rule on the instance hosting www.example.com to redirect www.example.com/uk traffic to another ip address.

This will mean you rely on www.example.com to redirect traffic for www.example.com/uk. In the event the instance running www.example.com were to become unavailable, www.example.com/uk would become inaccessible.

Alternatively, you can setup a subdomain in Route53 with the following entry

uk.example.com 1.2.3.4

This will mean that www.example.com/uk will need to be accessed using uk.example.com not www.example.com/uk
