Hi,  
I am trying to have multiple map files used in the same frontend like:

```auto
  use_backend %[req.hdr(host),lower,map(/etc/haproxy/web-dom2back.map)]
  use_backend %[req.hdr(host),lower,map(/etc/haproxy/web-dom1back.map)]

```

But what happens is that when I try to access a website that is defined in web-dom1back.map it doesn’t work because it is not found on the first map and then defaults to something else.

What options do I have here? I just would like to have this setup to have better organized the maps with shorter files.

Thanks.

Hi,

I had the same issue, and putting the if statement at the end of each line (as per [Using use\_backend rules with map files](https://discourse.haproxy.org/t/using-use-backend-rules-with-map-files/208)) resolved my problem.

you are right, I was missing the conditional.

Cheers.
