Re: Apache Reverse proxying - WAS Introduction and first questions



John,

Thanks for that.

I'd been, incorrectly, assuming that the fact the Proxyequests on was
within
a specific VirtualHost context rather than global, it would only allow
proxying of the named server specified within that directive.

You are absolutely right, though - it DOES allow arbitrary forward
proxying...

I will set ProxyRequests Off as you suggest.

Regards,

Mark
