I just wanted to throw another option out there that I have used in the past as well to help with configuring this type of solution. what you are talking about here is a reverse proxy. squid can do a great job as a reverse proxy that is pretty robust and lightweight (loosely). Here is a decent link to get you started if you wanted to go that route. http://www.sweetnam.eu/index.php/Reverse_Proxy_with_Squid If you have any questions about squid, please feel free to email me or the list with your questions. One thing to note is that you want to make sure that your proxy is secure and setup properly if you are using apache as the reverse proxy. I would also second nginx as a great alternative to another reverse proxy. http://intranation.com/entries/2008/09/using-nginx-reverse-proxy/ Thanks, -- thebigdog _______________________________________________ UPHPU mailing list [email protected] http://uphpu.org/mailman/listinfo/uphpu IRC: #uphpu on irc.freenode.net
