Proxy Pass based on the first field in the URI

[meir hazon]

Sorry, the only random is the first part of the URI,

Following is the right description,
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 static

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 to the nginx conf

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

   a DNS record would be added etc based on the env ID

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

Could you please share your thoughts with me?

Thanks so much,

Meir
