help understanding proxy
Hi =)
I'm trying to understand how to take advantage of proxy and how it might
help speed access to one of my web sites. Is it true that I can enable
mod_proxy and the web server will draw information from it's cache when
serving requests rather than drawing the information from the web site
itself? In other words, I'm already running the site... all I need to do to
get performance boosts is enable mod_proxy and that people accessing my site
will never know the difference? Is that true?
Sorry if I'm not making sense... I'm used to thinking of proxy's from the
client perspective... I specify a proxy and my browser retrieves web pages
from the net through it. Now I'm trying to reverse this and have the web
site deliver it's web pages through a proxy and have it be transparent to
visitors. Is this doable with mod_proxy? Am I correct in understanding
that this is possible?
Thanks in advance for any information you have.
-Ed

I just finished reading a book that basically says that
this is so, although I have not done it, the book does make
the claim that it will actually speed things up (a surprise
to me) as the page are already cached and therefore faster
(makes sense to me). The book is "Linux Apache Web Server
Administration" by Charles Aulds.
