    hi I have 1 static IP address and 2 server running 2 different web sites both windows 2003. I would like to run a 3rd server with windows and apache with a mod proxy I believe, to point the domains to the correct server on the Lan
    So I would get

    From 87.88.255.25 External IP (not real one)
    This point a Apache mod proxy to redistribute the traffic
    site1.com to Lan Ip 192.0.0.1
    site2.com to Lan Ip 192.0.0.2

    my question is were do I start

    can some one get me started point me in the right direction maybe a example of how to do it as I have limited experience in apache

    any help would be appreciated very much

    So you would like one server to act as a load balancer in a way?

    Hi thank you for the reply it is much appreciated
    I have been looking at many ways and it always comes back to load balancing i was on the understanding that it was for more than 1 ISP so it would split traffic over the 2 plus connection e.g Level 3 and easynet. Having 2 or more server behind 1 IP I couldn’t see how load balancing would work? I would have 2 domains one for each server and add more to each server at a later date via the apache server. Also I understand that I could use a reveres Proxy (apache) but couldn’t find anything to say this is how to do it. I am not a noob but it’s a bit beyond my expertise Apache code, but I always up for getting out my depth
