Single node.js http server accepting connections over multiple host names

Question

Is it possible to create a single http server in node.js that will accept connections on multiple host names? For example: I have a number of subdomains (x1.domain.com, x2.domain.com, ... xn.domain.com) associated with an IP address, and I want the node.js program to accept connections only on x1 .domain.com and x2.domain.com.

Answer 1

This should be possible with ConnectJS vhost middleware:

Those docs are rather missing, but it seems like the ever-growing TJ has an example:

Answer 2

It looks as if it is (initially) possible if you are not using any proxy server or an additional IP address for certain (additional) domains.
