Re: Proxying Web Server Traffic Over Single External IP Address

True if I only had 1 web server.

In my case the back end could be an iSeries, Windows or Linux box, so I really want a generic reverse proxy.

Can Apache do that or should I look elsewhere ?

Looking at using an Astaro firewall box which our security team sells, but wanted to review pure software options as well.

I would expect you can forward port 80 in the firewall to a single Apache that has virtual hosts configured and use ProxPass there to pass back to the real servers doing the work.
