回覆︰ [users@httpd] How to solve ONE fixed IP serving multiple web-servers running on VMs

Hi James,

Thanks for your advice.

If I understand it correctly.  Run a webserver on a VM with the Fixed/Static IP forwarded to it on the router and set up it as Proxy?

That is what I'm most interested rather than installing Apache on the host and run it as Proxy.  I expect keeping the Host clean for running VirtualBox ONLY.

Whether following article is relevant for me to follow?

Thanks

Hi all,

I have following problem:

Host       Ubuntu 14.04 desktop
VMs       Ubuntu 14.04 desktop/server edition
VirtualBox

I have several web-servers running on VMs, each with its own domain/subdomain and internal IP address.  But I have only one Fixed IP/External IP.

All VMs are Apache server running WordPress.  I can create many internal IPs on router.

Please advise how can I make all web-servers be browsed on Internet

Thanks in advance.
