hi

is anybody using apache as a reverse-proxy ?
i have compiled apache with mod_proxy, but it's not working.
does anybody have some configuration notes how to do that ?

i want to do the following:

URL prefix (from client)
http://www.foo.com/xyz

Map to (proxy will use this)
http://www.123.com:8181/xzy

thanks and regards

What is the reason for using reverse proxy?  If you
are trying to use that to do load balancing, you
can get load balancers from Red Hill Networks or
Cisco.  It is not that expensive any more.

Apache works fine as reverse proxy...

use ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse to configure the RevProxy...
This ProxyPassReverse makes your "web sub system" invisible
to the front end browser.

For more info please see the docs...

1. WWW and PROXY auth when using Apache as authetifying reverse-proxy

Hello all.

I'm using Apache's latest version (1.3.14) and it seems I hit a wall someone
has met before me. Basically the problem is as follows: - I have a reverse
proxy that works just fine thanks to ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse. Let's
call him "rproxy". He "hides" a http server, I'll call "server". - when I ask
for authentication on a resource located on "server" (using either Location
or Directory in the httpd.conf file of "rproxy"), "rproxy" sends a PROXY auth
to the client. I would expect a HTTP auth request... The user authentifies,
the "proxy" validates the credentials against the local database, and then
FORWARDS the auth request to the "server".

Problem is that I want the PROXY to authenticate the user, not the back-end
server. Is there a way to configure the "proxy" system so that the auth
request is not forwarded to the server?

I've tried <Directory>,  <Location (dirname)>, <Location (urlname)> with very
limited success...

Has someone managed to make this work?

Thanks in advance
