Hi,
I am running a few different web servers on my home network and have found a way of binding each wb server (and any virtual hosts) to domain names and having a "central" web server rerouting a request to the appropriate server using reverse-proy. at the moment, this central web server is IIS (Windows Server 2008 R2) based and it works perfectly. I want to change the central server to an Apache based one.
As an example; I want the central server to see an incoming http request (e.g sub.domain.com) and reroute it using reverse-proxy to a different web server that wouldn't normaly be accessible from the Internet (e.g 192.168.1.122/index.html).
My question is how do you reverse-proxy to a different server on the LAN with mod_rewrite in Apache?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

There is no need to use mod rewrite, but set up apache as a real reverse proxy.
an example for a vhost for a subdomain.
| Code: |
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName sub.domain.com
DocumentRoot "C:/Apache24/htdocs"
<Directory "C:/Apache24/htdocs">
Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require All granted
</Directory>
<Location />
ProxyPass http://192.168.1.122/
ProxyPassReverse htto://192.168.1.122/
</Location>
SetEnv vhostname jenkins
Header add X-Server-Name %{vhostname}e
</virtualhost>
