Can the Reverseproxy forward to different Servers by path?

[guybrush]

Hi,

I´m wondering if the reverseproxy package can so something like this (assuming my network is reachable under sub.domain.com):
surf to sub.domain.com/page1 -> forward internally to server 1
surf to sub.domain.com/page2 -> forward internally to server 2
….

I´m sorry, I do not know how to explain that better, but I think you got the point. I´f this isn´t working, what would you suggest me to do, if I have a couple of internal HTTP(S) resources and just one subdomainname available?

Best regards
Johannes

Varnish is a reverse proxy with cache and can do it for you.

at apache+modsecurity package i didn't find a way.

thanks for your reply. but with modsecurity my webs would be much safer, that´s why I intendet to use it. It seems you´re rather familiar with modsecurity.
what would you do in my situation? tbh, I can make more subdomains, but for the sake of it i just wanted to have one.

best regards

//edit: i read through the varnish docs, and saw it cannot handle https, which is cruicial for me (OWA, filetransfer,…)

You can use all:

I've set this scenario some times and it worked very well.

Https -> haproxy –--
                            |---> apache + modsecurity -->  webserver
Http -> varnish ------

You can Also set this:

Apache+modsecurity ---> varnish --->  web servers(/test)
                                           |-----> Web servers (/test2)

In this case, apache handles ssl.

Notes:
Apache can do what you want but today the package Does not include this option.
May be in a close future I may include this feature to gui.

Varnish is faster then apache as a reverse proxy, do a test if you have time.
