Perlbal::Manual::Selector - Configuring Perlbal as a virtual service that maps onto other services
Perlbal 1.78.
How to configure a Perlbal selector
service.
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.
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).
