+});
+
+let serverResult = appServerFactory.createAppServer({
+    useHttps: true,
+    useVirtualHosts: true,
+    keyPath: '/ssl/default.key',
+    certPath: '/ssl/default.crt',
+    port: 443,
+    enforceProtocol: true,
+    developmentMultiplier: 10
+});
+```
+
+### Development Mode Configuration
+
+```javascript
+let appServerFactory = new AppServerFactory();
+
+// Add development domains (automatically detected)
+appServerFactory.addDevelopmentDomain('localhost');
+appServerFactory.addDevelopmentDomain('dev.myapp.local');
+
+let serverResult = appServerFactory.createAppServer({
+    port: 3000,
+    corsOrigin: ['http://localhost:3000', 'http://dev.myapp.local:3000'],
+    developmentMultiplier: 5, // More lenient rate limiting in dev
+    developmentPorts: [3000, 3001, 8080],
+    developmentExternalDomains: {
+        'script-src': ['https://cdn.example.com'],
+        'style-src': ['https://fonts.googleapis.com']
+    }
+});
+```
+
+### Custom Security Configuration
+
+```javascript
+let appServerFactory = new AppServerFactory();
+
+let serverResult = appServerFactory.createAppServer({
+    useHelmet: true,
+    helmetConfig: {
+        contentSecurityPolicy: {
+            directives: {
+                defaultSrc: ["'self'"],
+                styleSrc: ["'self'", "'unsafe-inline'"],
+                scriptSrc: ["'self'"]
+            }
+        }
+    },
+    globalRateLimit: 100, // requests per window
+    windowMs: 60000, // 1 minute
+    maxRequests: 30,
+    trustedProxy: '127.0.0.1',
+    useXssProtection: true,
+    sanitizeOptions: {allowedTags: [], allowedAttributes: {}}
+});
+```
+
+### External Domains Configuration
+
+When using `developmentExternalDomains` to configure CSP policies, keys can be specified in either kebab-case or camelCase format. The system automatically converts kebab-case keys to the appropriate camelCase format:
+
+```javascript
+let serverResult = appServerFactory.createAppServer({
+    developmentExternalDomains: {
+        // Both formats work - choose whichever you prefer
+        'scriptSrc': ['https://cdn.example.com'],           // camelCase
+        'script-src': ['https://platform-api.example.com'], // kebab-case (auto-converted)
+        'styleSrc': ['https://fonts.googleapis.com'],       // camelCase
+        'font-src': ['https://fonts.gstatic.com']           // kebab-case (auto-converted)
+    }
+});
+```
+
+The system automatically adds these domains to both the base directive and the corresponding `-elem` variant (e.g., `scriptSrc` and `scriptSrcElem`).
+
+### Helmet CSP Configuration Options
+
+The security configurer provides flexible CSP directive handling with merge or override behavior:
+
+#### Merging Directives (Default)
+
+By default, custom CSP directives are merged with the security defaults, allowing you to add additional sources without redefining all directives:
+
+```javascript
+let serverResult = appServerFactory.createAppServer({
+    useHelmet: true,
+    helmetConfig: {
+        contentSecurityPolicy: {
+            directives: {
+                // These will be ADDED to the default directives
+                scriptSrc: ['https://analytics.example.com'],
+                styleSrc: ['https://cdn.example.com']
+            }
+        }
+    }
+});
+
+// Result: default directives + your additional sources
+```
+
+#### Overriding Directives
+
+Set `overrideDirectives: true` to completely replace the default directives with your custom configuration:
+
+```javascript
+let serverResult = appServerFactory.createAppServer({
+    useHelmet: true,
+    helmetConfig: {
+        contentSecurityPolicy: {
+            overrideDirectives: true,  // Replace defaults entirely
+            directives: {
+                defaultSrc: ["'self'"],
+                scriptSrc: ["'self'", "https://trusted-cdn.com"],
+                styleSrc: ["'self'", "'unsafe-inline'"],
+                imgSrc: ["'self'", "data:", "https:"],
+                fontSrc: ["'self'"],
+                connectSrc: ["'self'"],
+                frameAncestors: ["'none'"],
+                baseUri: ["'self'"],
+                formAction: ["'self'"]
+            }
+        }
+    }
+});
+```
+
+### Reverse Proxy Configuration
+
+Route multiple domains to different backend servers through a single SSL-enabled entry point:
+
+```javascript
+let appServerFactory = new AppServerFactory();
+
+let serverResult = appServerFactory.createAppServer({
+    port: 443,
+    useHttps: true,
+    useVirtualHosts: true,
+    keyPath: '/ssl/server.key',
+    certPath: '/ssl/server.crt',
+    reverseProxyEnabled: true,
+    reverseProxyRules: [
+        {
+            hostname: 'demo.reldens.com',
+            target: 'https://localhost:8444',
+            pathPrefix: '/',
+            websocket: true,
+            secure: false
+        },
+        {
+            hostname: 'api.example.com',
+            target: 'https://localhost:8445',
+            pathPrefix: '/',
+            websocket: false
+        }
+    ],
+    autoListen: true
+});
+```
