I want to set-up a server outside of our LAN and Firewall to act as a Reverse Proxy to a server inside our LAN.
The server inside the LAN runs Apache 2.2.3 on a Windows 2003 server. The server outside the LAN will use the same OS and Apache version.
Is there a sample configuration file available that I can work with to set this up? I’m looking for a barebones file that only loads the needed modules to function as a Reverse Proxy, and provides the best security to protect the LAN.
Thanks. |

The number of modules depends how you want to connect to the internal server. I think with http is enough. There is no need for SSL.
So you need
- mod_proxy: The core module deals with proxy infrastructure and configuration and managing a proxy request.
- mod_proxy_http: This handles fetching documents with HTTP and HTTPS.
- mod_headers: This modifies HTTP request and response headers.
| Code: |
LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
LoadModule headers_module modules/mod_headers.so
|
inside a vhost
| Code: |
ProxyPass / http://internal1.example.com/
ProxyPassReverse / http://internal1.example.com/
|
if you have more questions please ask again. |
