Protocol Routing

[MastoryMd5]

Hello there, don't know if this is in the scope of the software but would be neat to have the option to route players to different proxy using different protocol versions

Hi, thank you for the idea: yes it would be in the scope of this project.

How would you represent something like this in config?

[MastoryMd5]

Probably a good option would be this:

[routing]
default = { ip = "127.0.0.1:12345" } # optional
# default = { ip = ["127.0.0.1:12001", "127.0.0.1:12002"] } # load balanced

# list of servers fronted by hopper
[routing.domain]
# simple reverse proxy
"mc.gaming.tk" = { ip = "docker_hostname:25008" } # hostnames are supported too!

[routing.protocol]
# simple reverse proxy
# for protocol version number check https://wiki.vg/Protocol_version_numbers
"754" = { ip = "docker_hostname:25008" } # 1.16.5 clients will be sent to this proxy!

So in theory if the protocol is the same the client will be connected to the specific proxy instead of the deafault proxy

Maybe making every domain configurable like you did in [routing.protocol] could be an idea? Letting users specify a range instead of a particular version could also be an idea:

[routing.routes."hostname"]
versions = { "750..=754" = "ip1", "755.." = "ip2" }

[BRA1L0R]

[routing.routes."hostname"]
versions = { "750..=754" = "ip1", "755.." = "ip2" }

Although I fear this syntax might be a bit too complicated

It can work since the comments can help guide the person that is going to configure the software
