Title: 2nd web server accessible to the internet
Post by: jeff on August 08, 2003, 06:01:30 PM

Hello, I'm considering ways to make a second server on my network accessible to the internet. I'd like to make a subdomain or ibay point to a different server. The catch is that I don't want to put a second ethernet card on the server as described in the localhost section of the manual under hostnames and addresses ( target computer system will need to have two interface cards- one connected to the internal network and the other to the external network ). I've been kicking this around a while now, and am considering setting up NFS on my SME 5.6 Gateway. I know this is considered insecure, does anyone have any other ideas?

I have not tried it myself...

under hostnames add a definition for this second webserver.
hostname: SubDomain.Mydomain...
visibility: global
location: local

If I am not wrong, this should make it available on the net...

Please let me know if it works...

regards
Alexander

Try "proxypass" contrib. It will let you redirect website or URL to any webserver internal or external.
