Perlbal::Manual::Selector \- Configuring Perlbal as a virtual service that maps onto other services
.SS "\s-1VERSION\s0"

How to configure a Perlbal \f(CW\*(C`selector\*(C'\fR service.
.SS "\s-1READ ME FIRST\s0"
.IX Subsection "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.
.SS "Configuring Perlbal as a Selector"
.IX Subsection "Configuring Perlbal as a Selector"
The \f(CW\*(C`selector\*(C'\fR role allows you to create a service that selects to which other service a request should be sent to.
.PP
Here's an example of how to do that with the help of Perlbal::Plugin::VHosts:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    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
.Ve
.PP
In this case, requests to both \f(CW\*(C`site1\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`site2\*(C'\fR are received by \f(CW\*(C`selector_service\*(C'\fR, which then sends requests for \f(CW\*(C`site1\*(C'\fR to \f(CW\*(C`service1\*(C'\fR and requests for \f(CW\*(C`site2\*(C'\fR to \f(CW\*(C`service2\*(C'\fR.
.PP
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 \f(CW\*(C`selector\*(C'\fR under Perlbal::Manual::Plugins).
