Hello,

I have a need to restrict https enforcement on my Apache installation to only 
external clients.

The server hosting the Apache instance is accessible over the internet via a 
domain http://www.domainname.net<http://www.domainname.net> while the same 
server is accessed internally/locally (LAN) by application servers via 
http://172.16.10.x/

Whenever https is enforced, the internal applications become unstable because 
they have not been programmed to make https calls and cannot deal with the 
https redirection done by Apache. However, eternal clients accessing the server 
via the internet using the domain name are fine.

Find below the details of the Apache instance and current configuration driving 
https enforcement:

Server version: Apache/2.4.23 (Unix)

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
# This checks to make sure the connection is not already HTTPS
RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L]

I need help on how to configure Apache to only apply the enforcement of https 
to calls via the internet using the domain name. In other words, all http calls 
to the server using the internal local server IP should not be redirected to 
https.

Regards,

Luther Enahoro
