Route traffic from certain site/url to a number of hand-picked nodes in a load balanced environment

  • 772

I inherited a loadbalancer (mod_proxy) setup consisting of 5 nodes.

The setup serves a number of 6 sites (site1, site2 etc, with shared disk space) and would like to know if there is a way to route traffic to only 2 of the nodes, namely 4 and 5 based on the site/url requested.

For example, what configuration do I have to include to mod_proxy config to only route traffic destined to say site3 (for example, www.site2.com/profile) to only nodes 4 and 5?

Have you ever done something similar?

Thank you in advance.

  1. So you are looking for a Layer7 Load Balancer? So as below

    site.com/Page1 = Server1/2 site.com/Page2 = Server3/4

    Something like that? If so, please refer to the below link
