Hello there,
Well, i've spent a lot of time on unsuccessful searches and searches (since i'm a linux newbie) on how to redirect HTTP traffic through my e-smith box.
The issue is:
- E-Smith (A) is now my default web server, gateway and firewall, which i have my domain name assigned to a public address. (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd)
- I have also an Internal web server, located on my LAN (B) which i would like to be transparently referenced by my external web server (A). That is, any HTTP request to A should be served by B without the external user being aware of this
(Internet) | ( My LAN )
aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd 192.168.1.1
client <-------------------------> A <--------------------------- > B
(e-smith Web Server) (Internal Web Server)
Is that possible? I've heard about the concept on reverse proxying that should do that, also a few lines on ipchains redirecting commands but have not been able to find any practical solution to solve this.
Any suggestion? Please answer...
Step by step please =)... thanx a lot

If you search on the (I think) devinfo forum archive for "ProxyPass", there is a thread from several months ago on this subject. You should also look at http://www.linuxfocus.org/English/March2000/article147.shtml, which explains the concepts well.
