    8: For a request to the given HOST1:PORT1 pair, connect to HOST2:PORT2 instead.
    9: This option is suitable to direct requests at a specific server, e.g. at a
   10: specific cluster node in a cluster of servers. This option is only used to
   11: establish the network connection. It does NOT affect the hostname/port that is
   12: used for TLS/SSL (e.g. SNI, certificate verification) or for the application
   13: protocols. "HOST1" and "PORT1" may be the empty string, meaning "any
   14: host/port". "HOST2" and "PORT2" may also be the empty string, meaning "use the
   15: request's original host/port".
   16: 
   17: A "host" specified to this option is compared as a string, so it needs to
   18: match the name used in request URL. It can be either numerical such as
   19: "127.0.0.1" or the full host name such as "example.org".
   20: 
   21: This option can be used many times to add many connect rules.
