Topic: Can SME easily expose backend web servers

[tgminc]

Simple question I think.

I want to segregate web content across multiple internal web servers on the same domain that are behind an SME gateway server.

Can SME support a configuration like:

mydomain.ca (SME Server/Gateway - Primary web server)
www1.mydomain.ca (first alternate internal web server)
www2.mydomain.ca (second alternate internal web server)

This is easy to do internally by adding a hostname but does not work outside of the local network.

Any ideas how to expose these internal servers without embedding forwarding ports in the outside URLs?

Thanks.

Search for ProxyPass.  In the past, you had to do it with custom-templates or a contrib however it is now built-in with some DB commands.  It needs more testing and has a problem in the manager panel but does seem to work correctly as far as I could tell.

Here is the bug request to add it to the base:
