Hi..
I know this isn't a centos/rhel/fedora issue... but i'm hopeful that someone might have an answer!!!
thanks
VVVVVVVVVV
Got a bit of an issue here, that I can't seem to resolve.
I have a test domain on a dynamic service (dyndns.org). the test domain is foo.gotdns.com, which i have pointing to my external cable/dsl address. Here's my issue, I would really like to be able to have the external user be able to see multiple websites which might be sitting on different physical machines/apache servers within my network.
Behind the modem, I have a firewall which is set up to port-forward the traffic to a machine with my network. So, for my example, the machine is dog (192.168.1.52), and the "foo.gotdns.com" would point to the app on the machine, based on the vhost setup in the dog httpd.conf file.
However, I would also like to have multiple external test sites/domains, each of which might point back to sites on different internal servers. The forwarding capability of the router only allows for all wan * (addresses) to be forwarded to a given internal machine. At the same time, the external/internal ports have to match.
So i don't have the ability to do something like "forward foo.gotdns.com to machine1, and forward foo2.gotdns.com to machine2" which is exactly what i'm trying to accomplish!!
I've been looking into using vhosts, and the redirect functionaility, but I can't seem to get it to work, using the external domain name.
So. i'm trying to: -be able to access multiple test sites, on multiple servers from a browser external to my network -be able to access the same sites, from inside my network, using the local/internal namespace -be able to access the same sites, from inside my network, using the external namespace (testing purposes)
I've looked high/low for how to accomplish this with no real luck.
thanks
ps. I've seen others who've been looking for similar solutions, so this would definitely help.
ps. I'm able to do a redirect from one server to another, if I restrict to using internal addresses. Just can't get the external stuff to work..

You wrote a really long mail so sorry if I missed some of your intentions but here's some pseudo-code showing an example ...
DNS === foo.example.com. IN A 123.123.123.123 foo1.example.com. IN CNAME foo.gotdns.com foo2.example.com. IN CNAME foo.gotdns.com
ROUTER ====== redirects all WAN traffic to internal LAN server: WAN: 123.123.123.123 => LAN: 192.168.0.10
FRONT-END APACHE (192.168.0.10) ================ NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName foo1.example.com ProxyRequests Off <Proxy *> Order deny,allow Allow from all </Proxy>
ProxyPass / http://internal1.foo.example.com/ ProxyPassReverse / http://internal1.foo.example.com/ </VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName foo2.example.com ProxyRequests Off <Proxy *> Order deny,allow Allow from all </Proxy> ProxyPass / http://internal2.foo.example.com/ ProxyPassReverse / http://internal2.foo.example.com/ </VirtualHost>
Now all you need is to set up internal[12].foo.example.com as either vhosts or on physical web servers.
That's one possible solution. Others might be more complex load balancer setups.
