Hey,

Normally, virtual hosts are specified using host names. Is it possible to redirect traffic to another container if specifying the IP address--rather than a DNS host name--as a virtual host?

Nginx uses the information contained in the http request header to decide how to route that request to virtual hosts.
Those http request headers do not have the ip address information. So I don't see how nginx could do.

You could think of running 2 instances of nginx-proxy, each of them bound to a single ip address. This way depending on the ip address used, a different nginx-proxy would take care of the http request. But that would only work if those 2 nginx-proxy containers are not on the same docker host.
