You could run something like mod_security on your proxy servers if you were worried about what kinds of requests were forwarded to your backend, and wanted to make something "more secure" by putting a proxy in front of it. As it stands now in your scenario, adding the reverse proxy does not harm the security of the solution. -- Eric Covener cove...@gmail.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
