[users@httpd] How to make Apache 2.x as Forwarding server?
Hi,
I have client/server architecture. I want to introduce Apache server in
between that will receive request from client, forward it to server then
take response from server and give it back to the client. There is no
load balancing or complex processing here.
How can I implement this simple requirement without using mod_proxy?

You are asking for a plane that will still fly if you take the wings
of. Maybe you should stop doing that, and we will be able to help you.

If I may ask : why do you even need an Apache in-between ? a simple tcp
router or firewall with port re-direction of port 80 to your back-end
server would do this nicely.
It would send the packets "as is" without any interference, run on a
small diskless box costing about 500$, and run for years without trouble
any. Run IPCop on it, and you would also have a nice web-based
configuration interface with plenty of filtering options, and whatever
logging you want.
