Can HAProxy use the port that is part of the domain?

I am setting up a cluster of servers which all run a dynamic number of services on some random ports. Each service binds to the same port on all servers.



I would like to put HAProxy in front of these servers to load balance the incoming traffic, and give clients a predictable entrypoint into the service, given they know the port of the service.



Here's a rough example of how I would like to map a given domain to my three servers. The wildcard *.example.com is pointing to the HAProxy.



32001.example.com:
- 10.0.0.1:32001
- 10.0.0.2:32001
- 10.0.0.3:32001

32002.example.com:
- 10.0.0.1:32002
- 10.0.0.2:32002
- 10.0.0.3:32002

...

35999.example.com:
- 10.0.0.1:35999
- 10.0.0.2:35999
- 10.0.0.3:35999

36000.example.com:
- 10.0.0.1:36000
- 10.0.0.2:36000
- 10.0.0.3:36000

...


Is this possible without creating a humongous config file?

  • I don;t think so, because haproxy needs to be able to check the health of the backend servers independent of what requests come in. So it needs to know the IP/port of all backend servers beforehand. Perhaps haproxy is not the right tool here.
