But if I do some configuration tweaks in "wp-config.php", like adding the following two lines :
    define('WP_HOME', 'https://front1.domain.local 
<https://front1.domain.local>');
    define('WP_SITEURL', 'https://front1.domain.local 
<https://front1.domain.local>');

    It seems to work correctly.

It is not an acceptable solution however, as these WP instances will be managed by people who are not really tech-savvy.

So I wonder if HAProxy could provide a setup with all the required modifications, rewritings, ... allowing both worlds to coexist in a transparent way :
    - usable WP site while browsing the "real" URLs from the backend
    - usable WP site while browsing through HAProxy.

    Right now WP is my concern, but I am sure this is a reusable "pattern" for 
future needs.

This is a requirement for most apps behind a reverse proxy -- you simply have to tell the app that it is behind a reverse proxy so it can set correct links where needed.

In your case if you google for "wordpress behind reverse proxy" I'm sure you'll get a ton of resources that can point you in the right direction for your use case like using X-FORWARD headers for example or whatever suits you.

Full Ack to Igor's statment.

A a further Idea maybe you can replace the response.

http://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/2.3/configuration.html#4.2-http-response%20replace-value

It could be tricky for a huge amount of hosts, due to this fact I suggest to
setup WP with WP_HOME and WP_SITEURL which is possible via wp-admin via GUI :-)

You can also create a smal setup tool which adds the values to the wp_config and
add the haproxy map entry for the domain.
