I am sorry but I can't
Answer your question cause I am still building my network but had to say
your setup sounds very interesting and I have similar plans with the
Android I am new to servers I installed Apache on a ubuntu host on a hp 8
gig ram installed on a 2 tb external hard drive I don't know much of the
command line so trying out windows server 2012 for the gui well this is
getting long and not pertaining to Apache so that said I'll end hear I'll
be studying your question in the future I am sure thanks for asking it
sorry I was of no help
