Lighttpd proxy path names?

I'm trying to configure lighttpd to proxy traffic to one relative path to one proxy server, and traffic to another path to another proxy server.

For example:

http://mydomain.com/ proxies to 123.111.111.1
http://mydomain.com/apathname/ proxies to 123.111.111.2

I am flumoxed trying to figure out how to the the /apathname/ configured. This is a sample of what I have configured so far, which just directs all traffic to 123.111.111.1

$HTTP["host"] =~ "mydomain.com" {

    proxy.balance = "fair"

    proxy.server = ( 
        "" =>
            (
                ("host" => "123.111.111.1", "port" => "80" )
            ),

        "apathname" =>
            (
                ( "host" => "123.111.111.2", "port" => "80" )
            )
    )

}

My apologies if this question should be on another SO site. I'm primarily a coder, not a network guy, and I know I always get the best answers on SO itself, which is why I'm asking here.

You need to check the request URL from $HTTP["url"] and set up multiple proxy rules, like this:

$HTTP["host"] =~ "(www.example.com)" {
    server.document-root = "/var/www/www.example.com"

    $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/upload(.*)$" {
        proxy.server  = ("" => (
            ("host" => "10.2.2.1", "port" => 3000)
        ))
    }

    $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/submit(.*)$" {
        proxy.server  = ("" => (
            ("host" => "10.2.2.2", "port" => 3000)
        ))
    }
}

In this example above:

  • everything requested from /upload will be proxied to 10.2.2.1:3000.
  • everything requested from /submit will be proxied to 10.2.2.2:3000.
