### Proxy requests using a 'Pathname Only' ProxyTable
If you dont care about forwarding to different hosts, you can redirect based on the request path.
``` js
var options = {
pathnameOnly: true,
router: {
'/wiki': '127.0.0.1:8001',
'/blog': '127.0.0.1:8002',
'/api': '127.0.0.1:8003'
}
}
```
This comes in handy if you are running separate services or applications on separate paths. Note, using this option disables routing by hostname entirely.

This is possible when using node-http-proxy using similar JSON-based configuration to a proxy table: Sometimes in addition to a reverse proxy, you may want your front-facing server to forward traffic to another location.
