Overview

Container directive for directives applied to proxied resources. Directives placed in <Proxy> sections apply only to matching proxied content.

Matching

A backend URL matches the configuration section of a <Proxy> container directive if it begins with the wildcard-url string, even if the last path segment in the directive only matches a prefix of the backend URL. For example <Proxy "http://example.com/a"> matches "http://example.com/a/b". This behavior differs from the behavior of <Location>.

Syntax

<Proxy wildcard-url>
   ...
</Proxy>

<Proxy> and Balancer Workers

If the Proxy directive scheme starts with "balancer://", the directive defines the members of a virtual worker that balances amongst its members. For more details see:

mod_proxy Concepts - Balancer Workers

Load Balancing Configuration


Load balancing configuration at <Proxy> level uses the same configuration elements as ProxyPass load balancing configuration.
