Re: Apache reverse proxy on Ubuntu
Hi Daniel, Yes, I am aware of port forwarding. This website involve with online transaction so I believe the purpose is to hide the actual web server itself as well as resolving issue that experience previously with port forwarding with online transaction.

If you want to make 192.168.1.20 viewable to outside world, you should really be using port forwarding. I suggest you lookup how to setup port forwarding on Linux. Cheers Daniel.

<slightly-ot> Depending on what is running on the backend service you might find it better for performance to use Varnish (a web accelerator) to proxy the requests. Varnish will serve you static assets (images/css/js etc) from RAM and depending on the backend app config it could do the same for pages too. </slightly-ot> Cheers Dave

+1. I looked at varnish and nginx; IIRC the main reason I'm using apache on epoxy.cyber.com.au is because it was easy to have it do the auth layer, and auth against a slapd RFC2307 ppolicy-overlay backend. My main concern with varnish was needing to install cc to configure it, because more packages = more bad. If I'd gone with varnish, I probably would have set up a little script to configure it on the buildhost and scp it over.
