Re[2]: sub-domains and ports

["Pete Shew" <ukha_d@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For a subdomain solution, if you have a Windows machine running, you could
use Orenosp which is a free secure reverse proxy as mentioned by Andy.

What it does is look at the "host" part of the web request which
will be the subdomain and forward the request, and the responses, to the IP
address and port set in the configuration file.

You can also use it to split off subdirectories such as http://domain.com/homeseer to a
seperate server (though there can be issues if the directory strucure on
the actual server doesn't match the requested directory).

If you want security, it will proxy an HTTP server to the internet as an
HTTPS server so that log in details and the served pages are encrypted. I
would expect your problem firewall lets port 443 (HTTPS) through as well as
port 80.
