szabgab has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am using Starman to host a web site. I would like to setup a couple of other domains on the same server and tell Starman to handle them. How can I do that? I think Starman cannot handle it alone so I thought I'd need a Plack::Middleware. I checked, but I could not find any that would do that. Have I missed it or do I misunderstand how this should work?

Update

I also asked on the IRC channel of Plack and they directed me to Plack::Builder which is just awesome.

    If you don't want to change any application code, you could have separate instances of Starman listening at different ports, and then have a user-facing Apache instance that runs a reverse proxy for each subdomain.

    I use a similar setup for a host that started off with only Apache, and now forwards some domains to a Mojolicious application, and it works fine.

      Or you could have a user-facing ngix/lighthttpd/perlbal instance that runs a reverse proxy for each subdomain :) Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxy

      example reverse proxy config for apache/apache2/ngix/lighthttpd http://www.omakase.org/perl/starmanreverseproxyab.html

    I think its just a matter of using 

    --listen localhost --listen localpost --listen localfoobar

    [download]
    and then having some Plack::App::URLMap dispatch apps based on Host: header ( PSGI SERVER_NAME or HTTP_HOST var) 
    $urlmap->map( "http://localhost/" => $app1);
$urlmap->map( "http://localpost/" => $app2);
$urlmap->map( "http://localfoobar/" => $app3);

    [download]

    I'm not sure you need the multiple --listen options if all the hostnames bind to the same IP
