[users@httpd] multiple web servers
I need to run 2 web servers, on different machines, and I'm not sure of
the best way to do this. I currently have my firewall forwarding all
port 80 traffic to web server 1, can I use a virtual host on web server
1 that will point request for a specific hostname to web server 2? I
know how do do virtual hosts on the same machine, but i don't know how
to redirect to another server.
Thanks
Nick

My two cents on how I would do it.
Setup each server with it's own web server, of course with different IP
address. Then open port 80 on both IP address. Then use your DNS server to
link the domain names to the right IP address. Plus of course each server
will have it's own virtual hosts.
Mark.

Yes and no. You can only forward all port 80 traffic to one computer, so
you can't just do a simple redirect to a second server at port 80 behind the
firewall. You'd have to forward all traffic for say port 81 (or 8080 or
something), to server2 on the second machine, and then if you're capturing
requests for server2 on port 80 on server1 with a VirtualHost block (see
below), you can use a permanent redirect to server2. This assumes that the
firewall has the single external IP, and that both server1 and server2 both
resolve to this IP, and that you have port 80 forwarding to server1 and port
81 forwarding to server2.
========
server1

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName server1

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName server2
RedirectPermanent / http://server2:81/

========
server2

NameVirtualHost *:81

Yes, this can be done. See the directives ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse.
Of course, the more efficient thing to do would be for your firewall to
forward to the correct machines.
