Configure multiple sites with Varnish
You can support multiple frontend domains this way:
backend example1 {
.host = "backend.example1.com";
.port = "8080";
}
backend example2 {
.host = "backend.example2.com";
.port = "8080";
}
sub vcl_recv {
if (req.http.host == "example1.com") {
#You will need the following line only if your backend has multiple virtual host names
set req.http.host = "backend.example1.com";
set req.backend = example1;
return (lookup);
}
if (req.http.host == "example2.com") {
#You will need the following line only if your backend has multiple virtual host names
set req.http.host = "backend.example2.com";
set req.backend = example2;
return (lookup);
}
}
I'm using setup similar to Cristian's, but in if clauses I match req.http.host against regular expression:
#for www.example.com or example.com
if (req.http.host ~ "^(www\.)?example\.com$") {
set req.backend = example_com;
return (lookup);
}
#with any subdomain support
if (req.http.host ~ "^(.*\.)?example2\.com$") {
set req.backend = example2_com;
return (lookup);
}
Don't forget to set backends appropriately!
