Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/fatedier/frp/issues/2757

Describe the feature request

Nginx or other load balancer technique for dynamic loads.
I have already seen the subdomains assigning to each server which is not flexible, scalable and dynamic.
May be there needs to be extra headers or something from proxy connection and user connection for the load balancer to route.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Assigning subdomains to each server manually is the current solutionwhich is not flexible, scalable and dynamic.

Affected area

Docs
Installation
Performance and Scalability
Security
User Experience
Test and Release
Developer Infrastructure
Client Plugin
Server Plugin
Extensions
Others

I can't get your point. Can you describe more or draw a simple flow chart?

Here is the flow chart i am created.
Before that i am created plugin for authentication for each reverse proxy users.

Each http connections and it's associated reverse proxy connection must be forward to same vm otherwise it doesn't work.
How do we deal with this situations.

As you said, load-balance by DNS is a simple way. You can resolve xxx.group1.com and xxx.group2.com to different VMs.

This project is not designed for this scenario. It's not an easy feature, especially for TCP connections.

Do you have any suggestions how to implement it.
is there any header or other specific data's to uniquely identify proxy connection and http user connections ?.
