I think I posted this example earlier. This is just a snippet of the
relevant portions of the front/back end virtual configs. It is not a
cookie-cutter example!
Basically, I use unique port number virtuals on the back-ends (so I
can redirect to localhost:XXXX bypassing some networking cruft) and
name-based virtuals on the front end, though any technique on the
front end will do.
I set "Port 80" on the back-end so that any redirects don't get sent
directly to the back-end. Sometimes I also bind tightly to address
127.0.0.1 to prevent any outside connections when the two are on the
same box.
Stas, feel free to incorporate this example.
