severndigital Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I don't think Apache is the ideal place to do this, but I'm out of ideas so if anyone can point in the right direction it is much appreciated. we have a single ip address coming into our building. lets say the ip is 123.456.789.012 when a request comes in on that ip for our domain on port 80, it routes to our linux machine running Apache which houses our domain : www.mydomain.com and is at ip 172.16.2.7 what i need to do is when a request is issued for a subdomain like subdomain.mydomain.com I need to forward that request to another internal IP: 172.16.2.8 Like I said, I have a feeling Apache is NOT the place to be doing this, but I have to start somewhere.

efficacious Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I'm no pro at this but I do know that the company I register my domain name with. I can setup A Records. Which is basically exactly what your talking about. I can enter that if somone goes to www.mydomain.com it points to >this IP And if somone enters subdomain.mydomain.com it points to >this IP If your domain name register has a system like this it would be an easy way of getting done what you need. ~eff My fault i misread the question.. I see now that the ips your trying to alternate are internal. I don't think A records can be used for Interal IPs.

efficacious Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I was trying to find a solution to your issue.. mainly because I may attempt this very same thing later on. But I happened upon this thread that might be able to point u in the right direction. http://www.unix.com/unix-advanced-expert-users/11230-apache-config-one-ip-multiple-servers.html Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/172181-forwarding-to-another-machine-i-am-at-the-end-of-the-rope/#findComment-910588 Share on other sites More sharing options...
