gollark: That can do other nice things, like load-balancing and serving static files fast.
gollark: The way I would do this is probably to have all incoming HTTP requests go to just one server, and run a reverse proxy on that to forward all traffic to the right one based on the specified host.
gollark: Node.js is a JavaScript runtime/platform, so... yes. And I have not heard of a dino.
