Subject: Re: Name based virtual hosts
Just some crazy ideas:
1. Have the webserver behing the firewall, and have a separate
private (eg. 192.168.x.x) IP address for each virtual host. This
solves the problem of having to have multiple Internet addresses.
Make the firewall, or some DMZ box translate the incomming request
for a.domain.at:443 to the private IP address.
2. Do the same thing, but go from port 443 on the translation box to
a unique port on the virtual host box. I believe that the virtual
host box can run a different SSL connection as long as the port is
distinct. Incoming connections would think that they are going in on
port 443.
Anyone want to test this theory (or flame it)? I'd love to hear the
results (comments)!
Blair.
