Dynamic Mass vhosts / reverse proxying

Server NGINX
1

I’m trying to configure mass (300+) dynamic vhosts and reverse proxying.

users come in at: https://test.abc.example.com and should be
transparantly
proxied to: http://foo.abc.somethingelse.net

Anyone who has this kind of config running ?

  • tried regular expressions
  • wildcard certificate available

Look up the map directive:

I think it’s the most suitable thing for your setup.

Looks like a “not so much used” feature ?

Why do you say that?

If you go to the russian language list is often talked about and
even here it has been growing.

It’s the most clean way to implement what you want IMHO.

Please explain why you think that’s the case.

Surprisingly but “map” has been initially introduced exactly for mass
hosting.
