Multiple Servers behind NAT router

pnh73 · 10-07-2003, 12:27 PM

Hi,

I want to run a development server on my ersonal machine, I want it to be accessable from the internet but running on my work machine as opposed to my main server. I was wondering as to how I would go about doing this as I have a NAT ADSL router which at this present time just forwards all port 80 requests to the appropriate server address. How would I send devel.domain.com to my personal machine as opposed to the main server machine?

Both machines are Red Hat 8. Webserver is running Apache 2.0.40

TIA

You could just run it on another port eg 8080. You can also redirect request sfrom the main apaceh server (amy downgrade that servers performance so not reccomended). If you only want it to appear as domain.com without a port numebr you caould use a masking feature like the one zoneedit offers.

how do i redirect requests... the server is not of high traffic

I may consider zoneedit solution...

Take a look at mod_proxy:

hmm... looks like the zoneedit solution would be a good idea. Can you direct me in the right direction for that? i cant see how you do it... :s
