Topic: apache as reverse proxy server

[DouglasJ]

I want to expose my intranet site to the public internet for remote users. I can authenticate my users. However I really do not want to do this without using an encrypted connection. I’ve got everything I need to run a reverse proxy server. It’s this httpd.conf file. All the samples I find say things like “add these directives to your configuration file”. What I do not find is what directives I can leave out. So here is the question in a nut shell – can anyone provide a “complete” sample configuration file to run a reverse proxy?.
