We did our own reverse rewriting proxy using mod_perl some time ago because we needed to rewrite all links refering to servers on the inside not possible to see from the outside. This is not possible to do with mod_proxy as it does not rewrite the html links in the pages that are requested. There now is a perl package called ProxyRewrite or something like that. We have only looked briefly at it so I can't say how good it really is. There is SSL support for mod_perl (perl really) so maybe there is a possibility to get something working this way. /Hans Joe Ammann wrote: > > Don't know if I'm right with my question on this list... > > I have a request from a customer to build a secure reverse proxy.
