Also, since 1.3.21 you have the "hdr_ip" ACL which can parse
IP addresses from headers. What that means is that instead of
doing sub-string matching, you can match networks, which is
faster and allows globbing. For instance :
acl is_msn hdr_sub(X-Forwarded-For) 64.4.0
acl is_msn hdr_sub(X-Forwarded-For) 64.4.1
can be replaced by :
acl is_msn hdr_ip(X-Forwarded-For) 64.4.0.0/15
And with 1.4.6, you'll even be able to fill all known networks
in a file and load them in one line :
acl is_msn hdr_ip(X-Forwarded-For) -f /etc/haproxy/msn_networks.txt
