Hello, We're having an NT web application server, and we're about to convert it to FreeBSD. Unfortunately, this can be done overnight, and we'll have to keep the NT server up for the applications that are not yet running on FreeBSD, while the others are on the new FreeBSD application server ( running Apache/JServ with MySQL for the database ). The problem is that the users are accessing the applications on a URL basis, that is http://oursite.com/application or https://oursite.com/otherapplication. So I need to setup something that will forward the requests to the right server, that is http(s)://oursite.com/NTapplication to the NT server, and http(s)://oursite.com/BSDapplication to the FreeBSD server. I was wondering if there is some kind of proxy that can analyse the http(s) requests that comes in, and forward them to the appropriate server. We have a FreeBSD firewall in front of the two machines, so it might be the place to install such a software. I thought about installing Apache on the firewall, with mod_rewrite on, but this may not be the ultimate solution. Any advices and experience on this are welcome :) Thanks Erik de Zeeuw To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
