Double or chained proxy with mod_proxy

[Charlie Calhoun <cscal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I have a reverse proxy set up and working correctly for an internal website. I have now been asked to create another proxy to connect to the reverse proxy (and ultimately the internal website). The second proxy does not have direct network access to the internal website, but it does have network access to the reverse proxy. Its function is to provide access to that internal website for parts of our network that don't have access to the reverse proxy or the internal website.

I have tried setting the second proxy as a reverse proxy pointing to the original reverse proxy, but this gave "Bad Request" errors. Then I tried setting it as a forward proxy, then started playing with ProxyRemote and NoProxy, but nothing seems to work. I expect that when I go to "secondproxy.local.domain:listenport", it should return the internal website, just like what happens when I go to "originalreverseproxy.local.domain:listenport"

Is this possible? What do I need to do to achieve this?

Thank you,

cscal
