Hello, I have a webserver running apache with a public IP. I have an internal server which runs certain services. Can I create a virtual directory on public server which actually redirects the request to the internal server which serves that request and sends it to the external server which responds to the client. Any pointers to any documentation in this regard will be highly appreciated.
---------------- End original message. ---------------------What you want to do is called proxying. Apache can do this and be configured in a number of ways to achieve this sort of result. The actual details of how to do it can range from fairly simple to very complex.
I'd suggest starting with the mod_proxy documentation on the Apache web site: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.htmlAnd then take a look at Nick Kew's tutorial here (useful if you have to rewrite URLs in the proxied pages and a few other things):
