In my infrastructure that I'm working on building, I'm using HAProxy with
layer-7 inspection specifically to forward requests for different paths to
different physical servers.  I specifically -don't- want multiple paths at
the same hostname to be muxed on the same connection.  If you want two
different endpoints, open two distinct TCP connections and be done with it.
 If you want a single stream, design your server and subprotocol to
specifically handle all the use cases.
