Reverse proxy
The situation:
At home I’m running a Windows 2008 server (Exchange 2007 and mostly file sharing) that is also hosting two virtualized Debian environments: webserver and mail server.
As all HTTP trafic is serviced by the Debian machine, I had to figure out a way to forward all the traffic for www.elconsultancy.nl to this 2K8 machine (running IIS). Why…trying to make my first steps into the SilverLight world.
The solution:
As most stuff also this could be handled really easy by using the reverse proxy. Two steps to handle this:
1) Edit the Virtual Hosts file:
<VirtualHost 192.168.50.80:80>
ServerName www.elconsultancy.nl
ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass / http://192.168.50.1/
ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.50.1/
</VirtualHost>
2) Enable the proxy module:
a2enmod proxy_http
Yeah, it really is that easy !
