[users@httpd] Apache Reverse Proxy
Hi,
I have a topology with two apache webservers. I want to set up a new
server as a reverse proxy with caching and load balancing.
As far as I know, this works fine with apache and I don't need extra
software like squid. Am I right?
Is it possible, that the servers can use both, HTTP and HTTPS for
connections and should i use the Apache HTTP Server as a reverse proxy
or something else?
Sorry for my bad english ;)
Greetings,
Chris

It's always nice to get new requirements after the fact.
You did not specify HTTPS before, did you ?
AFAIK mod_proxy will handle both http-to-https and https-to-http just fine.

The way the documentation tells you to.

So, if I want to provide HTTPS connections, it is possible to use a
Apache Server as loadbalancer?
And how do I configure that?

mod_proxy_balancer will do nicely.

It depends on your requirements, really.
If you need esoteric things like (external) proxy authentication or
fine-grained client ACLs, squid is better equipped for that.
As an application frontend loadbalancer, apache works very well.

Chris,
I recently inherited responsibility for two apache servers that function as reverse proxies. They work really well. I am still learning, but I believe all you need is mod_proxy to get the reverse proxy functionality.
