Reverse Proxy with a single hostname

Hi everybody,

there's one thing I wanted to clear up:

I have only a single public hostname. What I would like is:

Request from Internet to http(s)://publicdomainname.com/applicationXYZ

which Astaro directs to http(s)://internalhostname/somewebinterface

As far as it seems to me Astaro can only redirect requests by filtering hostnames, not get-submitted-paths, can it not?

Correct, only by hostname.

To do the kind of rewrite that you want, you would either need to use mod-rewrite with Apache, or the rewrite module in IIS 7+. Another possibility is to change things up a bit on the external side, so that the client would connect to http(s)://applicationXYZ.publicdomainname.com, then use hostheaders (IIS)/virtual hosts(Apache).

Awesome, I wasn't aware IIS had meanwhile learned how to do that. It's working. Thanks a lot :-)

My public domain is a dyndns address. In the past I've handled this with subdomains of it (like you proposed). But Dyndns eventually dropped wildcard support for free users.

Nevertheless I'd consider integrating the feature into ASG. That way I could put a webserver into a DMZ (simply a port connected only to Astaro) and use it with a single domainname.
