   @rawlinp @dneuman64 Traffic Ops let you use a path. It's actually helpful if you don't need to expose anything else and make it work like `chroot`.
   
   I'm actually using this feature today in the lab. Haven't been using in production yet although it came up today in a discussion. I guess it worked, but maybe not by design. You might find this is a feature offered by other CDNs (And I recall one we were using before that let us do that.
   
   Here's a masked example of a line in my lab:
   
   ```
   map     http://edge.test.x.coxlab.net/     http://origin.rd.at.cox.net/path/ @plugin=header_rewrite.so @pparam=dscp/set_dscp_0.config
   ```
   
   Not too sure about the intention there. The documentation does state the following:
   
   ```
   The Origin Server’s base URL which includes the protocol (http or https). Example: http://movies.origin.com Must be a domain only, no directories or IP addresses
   ```
   
   This is fully allowed by Traffic Server: https://docs.trafficserver.apache.org/en/6.1.x/admin-guide/files/remap.config.en.html
