severndigital Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 ok .. i have a relatively firm grasp of the basics of virtual hosts. however, this one is outside my realm of knowledge. I would like to have a domain name .. goingcrazy.myplace.net when requests come in on that address .. i would like the apacher server to send them to a completely different machine in the building. for example lets say my main server is (demonstration only) 1.2.3.75 and the second server address is 1.2.3.80 what, if anything, can I do with apache to send requests from goinginsane.myplace.net to the 1.2.3.80 server instead of the 1.2.3.75 server? does that make sense?? I've read apache manual and all i can see is how to have multiple incoming ip addresses .. but how do i direct to multiple internal ip address?? thanks, chris Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/86166-vhost-to-another-ip-address/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Mod_proxy http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_proxy.html Don't know a huge amount about it as I've never really had call to play with it. It can be a bit fiddly to set up and I understand there are a few snafus to watch for - esp if you have interations between rewrite rules.

trq Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Surely this is better done in your router/firewall? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/86166-vhost-to-another-ip-address/#findComment-440217 Share on other sites More sharing options...
severndigital Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 Surely this is better done in your router/firewall? I completely agree. However, I am unable to route a specific port, in this case port 80, to multiple internal IP addresses. I have been dodging the need to do so, but perhaps it is time to setup a proxy server. :-[ Man .. I already have too much to do -Cheers Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/86166-vhost-to-another-ip-address/#findComment-440872 Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I guessed as much hehe If you have a firm grasp of vhosts you're more than likely to understand port-forwarding. Maybe a better fw/router might be a cheaper solution in terms of time and effort?? Or perhaps something like freesco or whatever??? Just a thought.
