[users@httpd] RPC over HTTP(S) with Apache

[Jake Doe <jd...@yahoo.com>]

Has anyone deployed RPC over HTTP(S) for Microsoft
Exchange Server 2003 SP1 using Apache as a reverse
proxy server (instead of a Microsoft ISA Server)? 
More specifically, does Apache support RPC over
HTTP(S)?

The topology is a Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 SP1
Back-End Server (BE) and a Front-End Server (FE).  The
Apache (reverse proxy) server is located in the DMZ. 
Using Outlook 2003 on a Windows XP SP2 desktop,
connecting via RPC over HTTP(S) on the internal LAN to
the FE server works.  However, when using the Apache
server from the WAN, it does not.  The strange thing
is that all other Microsoft Exchange Server
functionality works (i.e. Outlook Web Access (OWA),
Outlook Mobile Access (OMA), etc.) with the reverse
proxy server.

Since RPC is being encapsulated in HTTP(S), should
this be transparent?  Or, is Apache filtering the
packets differently?

Any help or suggestions would be much obliged.
