      Hello everyone, i hope this is the correct section, even if i don't know if this can be done, not only with pfsense but at all :)

      here is the scenario.

      1 public static IP address.
      2 domains pointing to that ip address (www.pippo.com www.pluto.com)
      1 pfsense having this ip address configured on the WAN interface.
      2 phisical webservers running apache and IIS connected to a LAN interface
      each webserver has its own private ip address (192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2)

      both servers are listening on port 80, but this is not a big issue to change the listening port for the webserver.

      i would like pfsense to:
      if the incoming request is for www.pippo.com -> nat the connection to 192.168.1.1
      if the incoming request is for www.pluto.com -> nat the connection to 192.168.1.2

      is it possible to do such a thing? if yes, can anyone explain me how?

      thnx a lot :)

        No this is not possible.
        Search the forum for "virtual host".
        There are various possibilities how you can do something like that on the server itself (redirect a connection to another server based on the URL).

        We do what we must, because we can.

          it can't be done directly with pfsense in anyway? not only nat, i mean combining with other stuff? like squid or anything?

              i noticed that Pound (http://www.apsis.ch/pound/index_html) can apparently handle this task for me, do you know if there is a module for pfsense?
