NAME

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

   VERSION
       Perlbal 1.78.

   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).
