I've modified the macro to use reverse proxies. Take a look at this:

  works at request
time, so that might be useful for picking the port to forward to, but in my
opinion it's not that useful for creating a configuration.  For example, it
wouldn't allow you to choose the ports to listen on.  I'm also not sure it
would work correctly with ProxyPass
 and
ProxyPassReverse
.
I'd probably just use mod_macro, or generate the configuration offline.

Thanks, Gillis. After I "pinged" this morning I checked the docs again
and I think I can use if/else directives inside the macro, something
like this pseudo code:


$port = 16000


$port = 16100


$port = 16800
   

What do you think?

There's mod_macro 
that might be useful.  I don't think it does calculations, though, so you
might need to do some things yourself.  Maybe you could indeed generate the
conf files yourself and use Include
 or IncludeOptional
.

I'd like to note that generating port numbers based on domains might work,
at first, but if you delete a domain from the list, the numbers will
shift.  So, a=>16010, b=>16020, c=>16030, etc, becomes a=>16010, c=>16020,
for example.

For doing the actual reverse proxying, you should probably read this
 and/or this
.
