Load balancing queries

By the way, the host matcher is fast but somewhat limiting because it just supports exact or prefix/suffix matching, so you may want to use header_regexp Host instead to write a regexp to match hostname patterns to avoid repetition of handle blocks.

I had a look at other forum threads that use header_regexp in the hope that I could figure this out, but I must backtrack and say that I’m bamboozled.

When we first started looking at options for converting the Caddyfile to use a wildcard certificate, you originally proposed an alternative approach using handle blocks instead of map in this post Migrate to using a wildcard certificate - #2 by francislavoie. I’m having difficulty making the mental leap to what you’re now suggesting with header_regex host. Can you please point me in the right direction?
