I need to load balance between multiple running servers with different host names. I cannot set-up the same virtual host on each one.

Is it possible to have only one listen configuration with multiple server and make the Health Checks apply the http-send-name-header Host directive? I am using HAProxy 1.5.

I came up with this working haproxy.cfg, as you can see, I had to set a different hostname for each health check as the health check ignores the http-send-name-header Host. I would have preferred to use variables or other methods and keep things more concise.

    log 127.0.0.1 local0 notice
    maxconn 2000
    user haproxy
    group haproxy
