Hello William, Yes you should be able to make it work with private ip (192.168.1.x) on the VS's. HOWEVER on the firewall you need to be able to route traffic to the right VS. However since you can not use header check on the firewall to decided what VS to send the request to (because only http request can use header check) the firewall will need to have numerous IPs assigned to it.
So say firewall has 10.10.0.10, 10.10.0.11 and 10.10.0.12 any requests to .10 would be routed to the master server of the freevsd server. .11 would be routed to the first VS and .12 to the second virtual server. Which means that you still will need as many public IPs as you have Virtual Servers. So if your doing this to "conserv" public IPs then no can do. If you do it to firewall the freevsd server then think what your doing. Is the machine behind a firewall and do you have other machines behind the firewall ? Remember that on the VS servers you give "unknown" people access to the machine which means you let them in behind the firewall and that way can access your network behind the firewall. But if your VS is on it's own leg of the firewall then it would be fine. Or you can just run it as a "public" machine and firewall the machine itself (iptables are great) Sunday, January 27, 2002, 08:35:49, you wrote: WM> Hi All, WM> In the install FAQS it states that each virtual server needs its own individual ip, and to "deal with it " :-) WM> At the risk of sounding very dense, ..(its just that I have skimmed all the archives and have not managed to find a definite WM> answer), WM> ....
