So I have a main loader called:
kog-game-loader which uses a certificate
I want:
thidomain.org to run one http server and
test.thisdomain.org to run another
Both of them going through the same loader and having a certificate.
EDIT: Sorry, the servers would run on two different droplets as well.
Is this possible?
Hey friend,
This is fine but you would need a virtual host (Apache) / server block (Nginx) on each server that routes the traffic for the requested website. You can do this:
- Load Balancer
-- Droplet 1
---- Site 1
---- Site 2
-- Droplet 2
---- Site 1
---- Site 2
But you can’t do this reasonably:
- Load Balancer
-- Droplet 1
---- Site 1
-- Droplet 2
---- Site 2
These may help you in configuring the web server for it:

Hello, @jarland.
You say I can route 2 different domains through 1 loadbalancer?
I don’t think you can do that..
What I wanted is:
web.xxx.com:443 -> loadbalancer (with SSL termination) -> droplet-1:80
api.xxx.com:443 -> loadbalancer (with SSL termination) -> droplet-1:80
The thing is that it doesn’t let me have 2 rules with the same port.
I can only understand this if the routing is done in layer 4, but if routing is done in layer 7 (which is HTTP layer), it should be able to map the domain names to the correct rules.
