Forwarding based on target domain name
-
Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible to perform port forwarding based on domain names.
As in I have two domain names, domain1.com and domain2.com, both pointing to the same external IP address.
I want to have pfSense forward domain1.com to one internal IP, and domain2.com to a different internal IP, kind of like how Apache/Lighttpd and other web servers can work with "virtual hosts" based on inbound domain names.
Possible? I'm trying to reduce the amount of public IPs needed for a network of VMs.

It's only possible for HTTP, but yes you can. You can use Squid3 for this as a Reverse Proxy.
