### Routing an app to a known ip:port combination ### Routing an app to a known ip:port combination
> New as of 0.25.0 In some cases, it may be necessary to route an app to an existing `$IP:$PORT` combination. This is particularly the case for internal admin tools or services that aren't run by Dokku but have a web ui that would benefit from being exposed by Dokku. This can be done by using a proxy application and routing requests through that.
In some cases, it may be necessary to route an app to an existing `$IP:$PORT` combination. This is particularly the case for internal admin tools or services that aren't run by Dokku but have a web ui that would benefit from being exposed by Dokku. This can be done by setting a value for `static-web-lister` and running a few other commands when creating an app.

Only a single `$IP:$PORT` combination can be routed to for a given app, and that `$IP:$PORT` combination _must_ be accessible to the proxy, or requests to the app may not resolve. Only a single `$IP:$PORT` combination can be routed to for a given app, and that `$IP:$PORT` combination _must_ be accessible to the service proxy on initial deploy, or the service proxy won't start.
