NAME

       Perlbal::Manual::Selector - Configuring Perlbal as a virtual service that maps onto other
       services

   VERSION

   DESCRIPTION
       How to configure a Perlbal "selector" service.

   READ ME FIRST
       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.

   Configuring Perlbal as a Selector
       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).
