-=======LiteSpeed ADC proxy on context level.=======
+====== Setting up a Proxy on the LiteSpeed Web ADC Context Level ======
-=====Requirement:=====
+===== Requirements =====
-LiteSpeed ADC on load balancer server , 2 web servers.
+  * LiteSpeed Web ADC on a load balancer server
+  * Two web servers.
-Use case exmaple:
+===== Use Case Example =====
-A very heavy site that user wants to separate front-end and back-end.
+You have a very heavy site, and so you want to lighten the load by hosting the front-end and back-end on different servers.
-Front-end: https://test.litespeedtech.com/  , back-end: https://test.litespeedtech.com/admin-panel/
+  * Front-end: ''<nowiki>https://test.example.com/</nowiki>''
+  * Back-end: ''<nowiki>https://test.example.com/admin-panel/</nowiki>''
 The goal is:
-  user to https://test.litespeedtech.com ---> LiteSpeed ADC ---> front-end server
+  * user requests ''<nowiki>https://test.example.com</nowiki>'' ---> LiteSpeed ADC ---> front-end server
-  user to https://test.litespeedtech.com/admin-panel/ ---> LiteSpeed ADC ---> back-end server
+  * user requests ''<nowiki>https://test.example.com/admin-panel/</nowiki>'' ---> LiteSpeed ADC ---> back-end server
 Both ends should use same database server and network file system.
-====Step 1:====
+===== Configuration =====
-Make sure both server are set up correctly , use local host file to bypass DNS for testing purpose.
+====Step 1====
-  [root@test ~]# curl http://test.litespeedtech.com
+Make sure both servers are set up correctly. Use local host file to bypass DNS for testing purposes.
+  [root@test ~]# curl http://test.example.com
   Hello World from front-end server
   [root@test ~]# vi /etc/hosts
-  [root@test ~]# curl http://test.litespeedtech.com/admin-panel/
+  [root@test ~]# curl http://test.example.com/admin-panel/
   Hello World from back-end server
   [root@test ~]#
+====Step 2====
-====Step 2:====
+Create two clusters in ADC WebAdmin console.
-Create 2 clusters in ADC webadmin console.

-In this example they are named as ''front-end'' and ''back-end''
+In this example they are named ''front-end'' and ''back-end''.

-And then add worker
+Add a worker for each cluster.

-Type choose HTTP or HTTPS , so is corresponding port to be 80 or 443.  this port can be any other port as long as it works with HTTP or HTTPS, and add IP in node list.
+For **Type**, choose ''HTTP'' or ''HTTPS'', and the corresponding port will be set to 80 or 443, respectively. You can override the port numbers, as long as your choice works with HTTP or HTTPS as needed.
+Add the IP address to **Node Address List**.

-====Step 3:====
+====Step 3====
-After 2 clusters are created , now create a virtual host, since only /admin-panel/ is going to be proxied to back-end , so main cluster for this domain is front-end
+After the two clusters are created, add a new virtual host. Only ''/admin-panel/'' is going to be proxied to ''back-end'', so the **Default Cluster** for this domain is ''front-end''.

-Now create a context.
+Create a context.
 {{:litespeed_wiki:lslb:adc-context-6.png|}}
-Set URI to **/admin-panel/** , please attach **/** at end , so every URI inside it will also be proxied, and choose **back-end** cluster.
+Set **URI** to ''/admin-panel/'', making sure to include the ''/'' at the end. This ensures so every URI in that path will also be proxied.
+Set **Cluster** to ''back-end''.

+====Step 4====
-Now create listener and add domain into it.
+Create a listener and add the ''test.example.com'' domain to it.
