RE: URL Rewriting in Apache anyone?

["Broadfoot, Kieran J" <Kieran.Broadfoot@xxxxxxx>]

Tony,

Not quite, the apache server at mydomain.com will respond to the
browser
with a redirect response pointing it to the webserver at home on port
8080,
as such youll need to open port 8080 through your firewall.  now if
you are
with Mr Bond and he is feeling generous you could use the squid proxy
server
as a web site accelerator which a: speeds up performance but more
important
b: means you only need a single IP address to access the ports at home
which
means you keep a fair degree of security on your firewall.

In effect your mydomain.com points to a proxy server not a real web
server.
the proxy then talks to your webservers for you and as such you only
need
one point of access to your range of services

the squid config file is 10000 lines long so you better hope Mr Bond is
generous ;-)

Wow - that simple eh?  Will this appear transparent to the end
user?
ie, when I type in tivo.mydomain.com, it _must_ only talk over port 80
to
the mydomain.com server, which then itself will talk over 8080 to the
destination.  The client cannot in reality be talking over 8080
itself,
thanks to firewall restrictions :-(

cheers,


Tony
