Subject: Re: [ukha_d] Another numpty question - web servers



what i've done is use orenosp which is a reverse proxy, this allows you
to have only port forwarded on your router (port 80) and then it farms
out the request to the different devices in your network depending on
the url you have used, is reasonably easy to use, doesnt take many
resources, can also set up different authentications methods on it

eg http:\\mydomain.com\ gets forwarded to 192.168.1.50 port 81
http:\\mydomain.com\tivo\ gets forwarded to 192.168.1.55 port 80

as a web server, i use abyss (free webserver, from
http://www.aprelium.com/ <http://www.aprelium.com/> ), this
works really
well, I have multiple
copies running and orenosp all on the same machine (theres also
www.xitami.com as a free webserver)
