Hi Marco, my commiseration to you as I know from my own experience how it is to have to deal with a 'not collaborative entity...'
However, if they have a reverse proxy, so can you. I suppose there is no problem to get to the server where Apache sits from the outside. Also that you can access the httpd.conf on this server. If these preconditions aren't met the rest of what I am writing is meaningless. Uncomment the relevant modules in the Apache httpd.conf. LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so #LoadModule proxy_connect_module modules/mod_proxy_connect.so LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so ProxyRequests Off ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyVia On <Proxy *> Order deny,allow Allow from all </Proxy> ProxyPass /geoserver_pWMS http://server_where_your_geoserver_is:8080/geoserver ProxyPassReverse /geoserver_pWMS http://server_where_your_geoserver_is:8080/geoserver_pWMS <Location /geoserver_pWMS> Order allow,deny Allow from all </Location> As you see, because the pass to where the request is proxied to is an URL the geoserver does not even need to sit on the same machine as Apache. Any machine on your internal network that is visible will do. If you have the means you could run your own Google-sized infrastructure behind this proxy. Works a treat, a geoserver behind two reverse proxies See: http://services.land.vic.gov.au/geoserver_pWMS That doesn't make it faster but as in your situation that is what I have to work with. The geoserver install is then a simple standard install and has the added advantage that you do not stuff up your layer preview, which you do when you fill in the 'Proxy Base URL' in the 'Global' settings.
