Hi,

We have an application server that sits in the DMZ, however I would
like to have this moved behind the DMZ firewall for various reasons,
and instead have the initial web request go to an apache server that
sits in the DMZ.

To access our (web based) application the url is something like:

http://<ip_address>:<port>/Connect/HttpAcceptor/?redirect=true

Can someone tell me if what I want to achieve would be possible using
Apache? I basically want it to route any requests coming through, say
from /Connect/ to the application server that would now be sitting
behind the firewall.

Thanks.

Two words: Proxy server.

People see your server sitting in the DMZ but pages really come from the
machine behind the firewall.
