Fixes #12 with subdomain support in the config

[keithjgrant]

This provides subdomain support as outlined in this comment (#12 (comment)). Includes documentation updates and new tests.

Cool thanks for the PR. Will get in for the next release. Appreciate the help!

What about this issue? We also need this. Badly. Our lives depend on it! @drewzboto to the rescue!

[drewzboto]

I'm debating how best to combine this with the PR from #31. It's essentially the same problem, but with a different match. I'll rewrite this PR to match #31 and provide a prebuilt function for domain/subdomain matching

[drewzboto]

i'll target it for the 2.0.0 release. soon! sorry for the wait, i've been a too many planes lately to find time to code

[stereokai]

At least you get to travel! It sounds great. Care to share your thoughts with us? Perhaps we can help.

[drewzboto]

I'm thinking of converting all the matching as functions. so in the config, you can specify a presupplied function, or write your own to identify when to proxy. I'll spec that out shortly. Happy to make people contributors if that makes things go faster. I know i'm a bottleneck

Hey guys, any news about this PR? :)

[stereokai]

Shai, I eventually used another tool - grunt-modrewrite as a middleware with connect, to give us Apache-like URL rewrites, as a substitute to subdomain-rule proxy. That's all we needed really.
מקווה שזה עזר :)

Thanks Tom! you're awesome :)

Guys, BTW, anything I can do to help?

Hey everyone, I know this thread is from a while ago, but does anyone have any tips for setting this up with either grunt-contrib-proxy or grunt-modrewrite?

I have an environment setup like so:
[local.site.com] needs to access api at [api-subdomain.site.com]

can't seem to get it working correctly. Thanks for any advice!
