You can hide the port of the back-end server only if there is someone on
the way to do that for you.
Most of the people with single machine/IP use:
requests => plain_apache+mod_proxy:80 <=> mod_perl:8080
||| |||
all only /perl
or
all but /perl
|||
//<=> plain_apache:8000
requests => squid:80
||| \\<=> mod_perl:8080
all |||
only /perl
or
all but /perl
|||
//<=> plain_apache:127.0.0.1:80
requests => squid:80
||| \\<=> mod_perl:127.0.0.1:8080
all |||
only /perl
All 3 approaches are at:
http://perl.apache.org/guide/strategy.html
http://perl.apache.org/guide/scenario.html
You are trying to make the vice versa, so you will have to point
everything to port 80 and let mod_perl to proxy the plain server, which is
ineffective taken that you have more than 10% of static traffic (a number
from my head, don't rely on it :) If you have <10% of static traffic read:
One Light and One Heavy Servers where ALL htmls are Perl-Generated
http://perl.apache.org/guide/scenario.html#One_Light_and_One_Heavy_Servers_
Hope this helps...
