Hi,

I need to configure Nginx as a reverse proxy. This is the scenario:

[server1.example.com](http://server1.example.com) (webserver)  
[server2.example.com](http://server2.example.com) (webserver)  
[proxy.example.com](http://proxy.example.com) (reverse proxy)

The connection from users whose data lives on [server1.example.com](http://server1.example.com) will  
be proxied to [server1.example.com](http://server1.example.com) by the proxy running on the  
[proxy.example.com](http://proxy.example.com).  
The connection from users whose data lives on [server2.example.com](http://server2.example.com) will  
be proxied to [server2.example.com](http://server2.example.com) by the proxy running on the  
[proxy.example.com](http://proxy.example.com).

How can I set a Route Lookup Handler in [proxy.example.com](http://proxy.example.com)?

This is similar to Zimbra multiserver’ scenario…

Can you help me?

Thanks in advanced,

Andrea
