Here's what I am trying to do.  I have a MS Exchange 2003 Server with
Outlook Web Access.  Obviously I don't want to subject it to the nasties on
the Internet, so I want to set up a Linux box as a "reverse proxy".  If it
works, the reverse proxy will sit on the DMZ and the Exchange server will
live on the local LAN.

I have setup an old PII 266 with 64MB RAM and 10GB HDD.  I have installed
Debian Woody on it with apache.

   webmail:~# apache -v
   Server version: Apache/1.3.26 (Unix) Debian GNU/Linux
   Server built:   Jun 24 2004 22:00:30

I have also installed libapache-mod-ssl.

So far so good.  I found some instructions at
http://seclists.org/lists/security-basics/2004/May/0258.html.  It looks like
exactly what I need.

Now I have a couple of problems:

Firstly, there is nothing listening on port 443.

Secondly, the instructions mention mod_proxy.  I can't find mod_proxy, but
there is a file called /usr/lib/apache/1.3/libproxy.so.  There is also a
package called libapache-mod-proxy-add-forward which provides the file
/usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_proxy_add_forward.so.  Is one of these what I need?

I decided it was probably a bad idea to paste all 1049 lines of my
/etc/apache/httpd.conf here, so it is available at
http://ostc.dyndns.org/Members/david/httpd.conf/file_view.

I admit that apache has never been one of my strengths, so I need some help.


Later
