Group: Member Post Group: Newbie Posts: 26 Status:	Hi, I have edited the apache file for vhost but the reverse proxy does not work. Can you please help? I want to proxy an external domain via my domain name. For example domain1.mydomain.com actually is a proxy for website google domain2.mydomain.com actually is a proxy for bing etc.. Can you please tell me how I can do this?

Group: Member Post Group: Newbie Posts: 38 Status:	Interesting question. If you want your sub1.yourdomain.com to point to www.google.com, then one way that I know of doing this is using CNAME records. This is how CDNs work. For example: http://www.rackspace.com/blog/its-here-cloud-files-now-supports-cnames-for-cdn-enabled-content/ http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/wordpress-cdn-content-delivery-network-configuration.html https://www.google.co.in/search?q=cdn+cname+mapping In short, CNAME sub1.yourdomain.com - > google.com However, whether this is legal, and/or whether it will work in the global DNS system is what I don't know. What is generally done is a permanent 301 redirect to the target domain. That always works. Also, I am curious why you want to do this, as I have not seen this kind of domain mapping commonly. Or maybe I completely misunderstood your question and you want to do some actual "reverse proxying" caching or something like that... /optsoft

Group: Member Post Group: Newbie Posts: 26 Status:	Hi, Basically I need to server to be the reverse proxy so that sends all the requests. This is so I can setup sub domains for websites which are blocked in my country. I already have this working with the common vps control panel "webmin/virtualmin" they already include this feature in. But I really like webuzo and would like to see this feature in it. This way of doing it is a faster and safer way to proxy a website. Thanks, Anthony

Group: Member Post Group: Newbie Posts: 38 Status:	Hmmm, so you want actual proxy server functionality like anonymouse.org. Ok, got it. Well, I didn't find anything like this built-in, but if you have done this before, then you probably know about various proxy mods for Apache - http://www.apachetutor.org/admin/reverseproxies I guess you would have to install / configure them manually. On a related note, I too found that it would be useful to have a UI and build-system for selecting modules for and rebuilding Apache. However I think that is a significantly complicated bit of software.
