Hi,

I'm looking for a way to do the following:

I have apache2 running with virtual hosting.
I'm accessing all my sites from the internet.

When I access A.x.nu it takes me to the A part on my server
When I access B.x.nu it takes me to the B part on my server

Now, when I access C.x.nu I don't wat to access C on this server, but I want to forward the request to another server (my dreambox).

This way I want my dreambox available from the outside on the same port (port 80) as all the other sites are.

Regards

Helped myself:

use the reverse proxy functionality of apache2!

Damn that works nice!!!

Hi boomy,

I did the same thing.. but I still have a problem... Now all the requests comes with the apache proxy IP... So, I'm unable to detect users IPs...

Do you know how to also foward the user IP's ?

Thanks,
Arlin

Hmmm, I don't know if the source IP addresses are sent through.
I will check this tomorrow... euh, later this day and let you know.

I never learned how to do the Apache redirection.
What I did was a clumsy but it works.

I just made another Apache web server on another machine, and used
port 81, 8080 or whatever seemed reasonable.

However in the future, I would like to learn the Apache redirection/rewrite rules.

If you don't want to read the whole thing and like to get started, this is what you have to do, it's not detailed:

A configuration of your virtual host site:
put this in apache2/sites-enabled
<VirtualHost <ip address if your outgoing ethernet card:80>
# Basic setup
ServerAdmin <your email adres>
ServerAlias testsite.site.com
Servername testsite.site.com
ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass / http://<the ip address that your other server has>:80/
ProxyPassReverse / http://<the ip address that your other server has>:80/
</VirtualHost>


Hope it gives you a start, but make sure that you know what you do, for minimal: read the commands at apache's site

ArlinOrlando,

What I snooped from the interface, and (Duhh) I could told you that directly, is that it is not possible that the request comes from the client.

Why would you like to have that?

The problem is that I what to identify the clients IP's ... Because Im using phpnuke with sentinel to protect against hackers attacks, and one of the defences is a autoblock attackers IPs...

I asume that you can't install this phpnuke at your apache proxy?
Unfortunatly I can't help you further. But I hope you get your answer somewhere.

Yes, for security reasons I was avoiding to do that...
Well anyway, I will put this machine in a new link, that will solve my problem...

Thanks for the help!
