Proxy Pass based on the first field in the URI

[meir hazon]

Dear Francis and friends,

I am sorry if I wasn't clear enough, I appreciate your help and advice
dearly.

I was thinking on creating environments dynamically, Meaning,

1. the source "host" of the URL is random

2. The first field of the URI includes a random string with the environment
ID.

3. Based on this ID a proxy pass is added (I will add DNS records etc.)

4. The proxy pass points to a static "host" and the URI includes the
original URI excluding the first filed (env ID field)

Meaning that I will need a good rewrite and an "if" statement for each one
of the environments (IDs)

Could you please
