This doesn't work...

  if (req.http.host == "www.domain.com" && req.url  ~ "^/hi$") {
       set req.backend = hiserver; }
   elseif (req.http.host == "www.domain.com" && req.url  ~ "^/$") {
        # if /hi is not specified, i.e go to /
       set req.backend = enserver; }
   else  {set req.backend = default; }                                   #
all other sites go here


All requests are going to "default" or "enserver".

Kindly help, thanks in advance.
