For a simple reverse proxy (with load balancing), try pound. From the webpage [http://www.apsis.ch/pound/]: "The Pound program is a reverse proxy, load balancer and HTTPS front-end for Web server(s). Pound was developed to enable distributing the load among several Web-servers and to allow for a convenient SSL wrapper for those Web servers that do not offer it natively. Pound is distributed under the GPL - no warranty, it's free to use, copy and give away." Last I looked, pound was available as a debian package in sid. However, for virtual hosting across multiple back-end machines with authentication at the firewall, I found apache2 + mod_ssl + mod_proxy more suitable. Moreover, pound does not provide caching for acceleration, nor ssl on the back channel. ...Murray -- Murray J.
