You can set up a reverse proxy and include access control like this:
LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
ProxyRequests Off
<VirtualHost 10.0.0.1:80>
ServerName reverse-proxy.example.com
<Location />
allow from 1.2.3.4 2.2.3.4
deny from all
ProxyPass http://internal.example.com/
ProxyPassReverse http://internal.example.com/
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
No need for mod_rewrite and in my opinion the configuration is much
clearer to read.
The documentation for proxying is at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html
and for access control is at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_authz_host.html
(for the general reader, these are the docs for apache 2.2 which is what
Michael reports he is using. The equivalent docs for up-to-date versions
are under http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/ etc.)
HTH,
Pete
