natd & virtual hosting

[Eli K. Breen]

Just to wrap up this thread (although it has left the realm of 
FreeBSD-specific)

This worked perfectly! (Apache2 only)
*Note that the redirections can be to internal-only addresses providing 
you leave ProxyRequests off.

Adding an internal alias to the BSD box and binding the alternate httpd 
to that IP then using that IP as the Proxy destination worked flawlessly.

Also need to add the following to httpd.conf

LoadModule proxy_module libexec/apache2/mod_proxy.so
#Not sure if you need both of the following...
LoadModule proxy_connect_module libexec/apache2/mod_proxy_connect.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module libexec/apache2/mod_proxy_http.so


<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
ProxyRequests Off

<Proxy *>
     Order deny,allow
     Allow from all
</Proxy>

Cheers,

-E-
