<h3>Summary</h3>
<p>This module creates dynamically configured mass reverse
proxies, by mapping the Host: header of the HTTP request to
a server name and backend URL stored in a DBM file.
This allows for easy use of a huge number of reverse proxies
with no configuration changes. It is much less feature-full
than <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy_balancer.html">mod_proxy_balancer</a></code>, which also provides
dynamic growth, but is intended to handle much, much
larger numbers of backends. It is ideally suited as a
front-end HTTP switch.</p>
<p>This module <em>requires</em> the service of <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code>.</p>
<div class="warning"><h3>Warning</h3>
<p>Do not enable proxying until you have <a href="mod_proxy.html#access">secured your server</a>. Open proxy
servers are dangerous both to your network and to the Internet at
large.</p>
</div>
<div class="note"><h3>Limitations</h3>
<ul>
<li>This module is not intended to replace the dynamic capability of
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy_balancer.html">mod_proxy_balancer</a></code>. Instead, it is intended to be mostly
a lightweight and fast alternative to using <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html">mod_rewrite</a></code>
with <code class="directive">RewriteMap</code> and the <code>[P]</code> flag
for mapped reverse proxying.
</li>
<li>It does not support regex or pattern matching at all.
</li>
<li>It emulates:
<div class="example"><p><code>
ProxyPass / backend.server:port<br />
ProxyPassReverse / backend.server:port<br />
</code></p></div>
That is, the entire URL is appended to the mapped backend
URL. This is in keeping with the intent of being a simple
but fast reverse proxy switch.
</li>
</ul>

<p>The <code class="directive">ProxyExpressDBMFile</code> directive
points to the location of the Express map DBM file. This
file serves to map the incoming server name, obtained from
the Host: header, to a backend URL.</p>
<div class="note"><h3>Note</h3>
<p>The file is constructed from a plain text file format using
the <code><a href="../programs/httxt2dbm.html">httxt2dbm</a></code>
