[users@httpd] [OT] 3rdparty advice - mod_proxy_html or similar

[allan juul <allan@xxxxxxx>]

hello

this is off-topic, so please respond off list ...

we are in a situation where we need to integrate a number of external 
sites into our portal.

currently this integration is done via a normal apache2.2 reverse proxy.

now it's getting particularly on my nerves that every time we integrate 
a new solution we have to argument about why these externals might need 
to rewrite their links (and a few other elements) in order for the 
integration to work.

the situation is problematic because

1) we don't want to loose too much performance since there are quite a 
lot of load already

2) we are running apache on windows


one solution that springs to mind is mod_proxy_html, that definitely 
could do a lot (maybe all) of the work.

what i would like to know is:

1) are people using this on high traffic sites, and what about 
performance after implementation ?

2) is it advisable to run it on windows (i have found a downloadable 
binary at apachelounge)

3) if other people have a similar setup i would be very interested to 
hear about your implementation.


thanks
./allan
