Hi folks, looking for some assistance in using wildcards / regexp in backend switching. For example i’ll have 100+ acl rules for path_beg /pathname and if these acl rules are matched I want to use a specific backend.
So I create acl declarations with a generic prefix “usr_” and want to say use backend if usr_path_* a snippet of code to help explain is below.
acl host-is-www hdr(host) eq www.domain.com
acl usr_path_path1 path_beg /path1
acl usr_path_path2 path_beg /path2
acl usr_path_path3 path_beg /path3
…
use_backend user if host-is-www usr_path*
default_backend www
backend www
…
server www1 x.x.x.x:443 check ssl…
server www2 x.x.x.x:443 check ssl…
backend user
…
server user1 x.x.x.x:443 check ssl…
server user2 x.x.x.x:443 check ssl…
Is this doable or do I need to create a use_backend declaration for each usr_path_pathname individually?
Thanks.
UPDATE :
I tried putting all my paths on a single acl declaration, however that returned a line too long error so I will have to do multi acls?
i.e.
acl user_paths path_beg /path1 /path2 /path2/a /path3
use backend user if host-is-www user_paths
