Topic: Reverse Proxy, SSL & E-Smith

[jason]

Hi All,

I'm getting ready to deploy my first e-smith server/firewall and am hoping someone can offer me advice on this subject. I understand that the unit can do port-forwarding, but I'd like to take it to the next level by installing a reverse proxy that does SSL. For example, I'd like to take:

Any request for:
 - http://httpS://mail.mydomain.com

and route it to:
 - http://192.168.0.2:3000

note that the original request is for a secure site, but behind the proxy the site is not SSL-enabled. Also note that the request is coming in on a standard SSL port and being redirected to a non-standard port internally.

Additionally, I'd like to, if possible, have one SSL certificate (either purchased for from freessl.com) that can be used to handle multiple sites proxied by this server, e.g.:

https://mail.mydomain.com
https://admin.mydomain.com
https://homecontrol.mydomain.com
https://music.mydomain.com

Does anyone know of a link to a good 'how-to' guide? I can't find anything, except for references to Apache_Mod. I'm mostly at a beginner level with Linux, but decent with Windows networking.

Thanks!

Jason
