Hi Jashua, I am only looking for passthough of any kind of traffic (I may want to control this based on host name etc though in reality) to respective end servers. Does apache support Port forwarding rather than me doing at O.S or router level..Also, I understand port forwarding does routing to one and only one host as a destination. If my terms used and understanding is correct.. I would like to configure apache so that it allows socket proxying i.e all my intranet systems (i.e browser, outlook) contact apache proxy on single xyz host and single port. When a request is receviced by apache on this port, it should check if the request is http or other ftp protocols.. If yes, do the special processing as it understanding these protocols better, else for any other protocols, it should treat it as socket tunneling..and connect to the end host and allow end to end packet trasfer.. This way, my whole company I only have one server where my full network security could be monitored and controlled.. I am hopefull that apache should be able to do this as of today.. if not I would wish apache to consider doing this or expose currently hidden feature in future..
