Apache2.2.3 on SLES10. I was hoping my firewall (sonicwall tz180w
enhanced software) would do this but it looks like it might not. We
have 4 servers with private ip's and our firewall has 1 public ip.
These servers run different services like mail, web and the other
things. We are looking at another service (ticketing system) that can
not run on but port 80. Port 80 is on the a different server. I need
to know if apache is able to see an dns address and forward to the
correct server. Example: http://cloudservice.domain.com on port 80
and http://mailservice.domain.com on port 80 (these are different
servers with private ip's). Can apache see the
xxx://cloudservice.xx.com and forward to the correct server versus
xxx://mailservice.xxx.com.

I hope what i need is clear as i am having a hard time describing it.
Basically, i need same port to go to different servers based on the
dns address from the outside (public ip).

I do not know if I understood the question but you can have a bunch of different websites with their own ip addresses in one apache server. That is usually done if they have their own unique certs AFAIK. I would imagine you can do fancier stuff too if you throw more servers at it, like have one external box that then forward the different requests to the proper web servers in your DMZ/private net.

That said, it is rather silly the sonicwall cannot listen to more than one external IP. I mean, that is beyond trivial in your garden-variety Linux or Solaris or what have you. And AFAIK sonicwall is linux-based.

Can't it at least have rules based on external FQDNs?
