<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">Hi all,</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">Hopefully a quick question from a new Varnish user – I haven’t been able to find anything in the docs for this.</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">I’m separating static content and application servers and would like to do this based on several regex expressions on req.url in vcl_recv.</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">Is it possible to use an ACL for this?</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">acl static_assets {</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"> … </font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">}</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">if (req.url ~ static_assets) {</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"> set req.backend_hint = static;</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"> return(lookup);</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">}</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">set req.backend_hint = default;</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">return(pass);</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">If this isn’t possible, is there an alternative that’s more elegant than lots of `if` statements?</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">Many thanks in advance</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">Matt Hanley</font></div>
