Redirect Traffic to internal server?

Hi Guys n Galls. I am going out of my head trying to sort out this little problem i have.

I am hosting my VM server on a single fixed IP accross adsl.

I have VM working fine but i need to set up forwarding traffic to subdomains to an internal server.

If i have http://www.mydomain.com go to my VM server - all works well I want to have http://sub.mydomain.com to go to my internal machine at http://192.168.0.1:80

I have set up a dns entry in bind for the sub.mydomain.com on the same public IP as my VM server.

I have also come to the conclusion that my traffic needs to be forwarded via ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse. So i have included a new section at the bottom of my http.conf file with the Following code.

ServerName sub.mydomain.com ServerAlias sub.mydomain.com ProxyPass / http://192.168.0.1:80 ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.0.1:80 Allow From All ProxyRequests on

It seems to work okay from within the network but when i do an nslookup on sub.mydomain.com i get non-existant domain

any suggestions?

Yeah, setting up a Proxy sounds like what you want.

However, if you get a non-existent domain when doing a lookup, that sounds like a DNS issue.

I'd double-check your DNS settings in BIND -- and if they're good, you might be dealing with a cache issue. That is, you may just need to wait 24 hours or so for the cache to clear out.

Thanks andreychek, You were correct about the cache problem. The problem lasted all of 3 or 4 hours and then disappeared. Thanks for the info and help. New issue on default web for Ip but i will open a new Topic for that.

Cheers. eX
