HA Proxy - Shared TCP?
-
Can HA proxy be configured to route TCP connections by host name?
Example: I have three applications that communicate over 443
Each has a host name
host1.domain.com to server 1
host2.domain.com to server 2
host3.domain.com to server 3When i change the front end type to tcp the option in the ACL is lost for "host matches" is not available.
Thanks in advance.

No, you can't do that.
HTTP protocol includes HOST directive to allow endpoint to understand which website is accessed (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Http_request_telnet_ubuntu.png for example).
TCP protocol does not have such functionality, it doesn't even know anything about hostnames or websites, it works with IPs only.
