We are using squid to reverse proxy multiple back end (origin) web servers. To keep things simple we make it look like one big site.
oursite.com/intranet hits squid and goes to ip_of_intranet/intranet directory oursite.com/extranet hits squid and goes to ip_of_extranet/extranet/ directory oursite.com/webmail1 hits squid and goes to ip_of_webmail1/webmail1/ directory oursite.com/webmail2 hits squid and goes to ip_of_webmail2/webmail2/ directory oursite.com/portal hits squid and goes to ip_of_portal/portal/ directory etc ...as long as each server has its content in a uniquely named directory off of root, all is well. We use SSL from the proxy to the browser and are using inside and outside proxies. ie: one on our back-end network, one in our DMZ. Using external dns servers lets oursite.com point to the public ip address that reaches the DMZ proxy and the internal dns points oursite.com to the internal (private ip address) squid server. Same address for the users, whether at home, on the road, or at a desk at work. https://oursite.com/intranet works from everywhere.
