 ### Multiple Ports
 
-If your container exposes multiple ports, nginx-proxy will default to the service running on port 80.  If you need to specify a different port, you can set a VIRTUAL_PORT env var to select a different one.  If your container only exposes one port and it has a VIRTUAL_HOST env var set, that port will be selected.

+### Advanced VIRTUAL_HOST syntax
+
+Using the Advanced VIRTUAL_HOST syntax you can specify multiple host names to each go to their own backend port. Basically provides support for VIRTUAL_HOST, VIRTUAL_PORT, and VIRTUAL_PROTO all in one field.
+
+For example, given the following:
+
+```
+VIRTUAL_HOST=api.example.com=>http:80,api-admin.example.com=>http:8001,secure.example.com=>https:8443
+```
+
+This would yield 3 different server/upstream configurations...

+1. Requests for api.example.com would route to this container's port 80 via http
