Yes, this is it... In our case, vservers get their hits directly from the outside by ProxyPass directive from the publicly available web server.
Schools can publish by FTP using a similar ProxyPass directive in ProFtpd, I'm not shure but sshd probly has that kind of feature (people enter [EMAIL PROTECTED] for username, that tells the ftpdaemon where to go). Only one whole in the firewall needed, no redirection or NAT, all passes by the same IP... For ProxyPass, a very simple tutorial: http://www.linuxfocus.org/English/March2000/article147.shtml -- Benoit St-Andr� <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Le jeu 31/07/2003 � 18:12, Fernando Serto a �crit : > I don't know if understood you... > > you have many vservers with private ips and only ONE public ip (probably on > the root server)? how can you have this vservers accessed from outside? or > those hits are comming only from your private network? > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Benoit St-Andr�" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Friday, August 01, 2003 3:06 AM > Subject: Re: [vserver] Advice needed > > Hi > > Being a non-expert, I can tell you what we did in our scolar counsil for > our schools > > We currently have one machine which is a PIII800 with 35 vservers on it. > They all have private IP, one has a public IP and does proxy-pass for > the others which releaves us the need for that much public ip's... > > We have one of those vservers which does https (proxy pass for the > others), and the other one are all for school web hosting, each school > can have its own world for its web site with php/mysql and more. > > This machine gets about 1 500 000 hits a week, and 22 of the 35 vservers > are in fact really used (the others are on but are not visited yet).
