Public veiwing a put in an internal network

[Howlin Mad Murdock]

Hello,

I have a cable modem, and on it I have a computer running as a gateway to the rest of my network. I have registered two domain subnames at homeip.net. Fot arguements sake lets call them one.homeip.net and two.homeip.net. I have both of the domains poining to the IP of my cable modem. I would like one.homeip.net to be the gateway's page, and the two.homeip.net to be transferred into the lan and show my computer with a private address of 192.168.0.13. Is this possible? If so, how do I go about starting to do this?

Thanks,

Murdock

With only one IP, there's not a pretty way to do it.

You can do a ProxyPassReverse in Apache with mod_proxy, but it will be extremely slow. I've used ProxyPassReverse in Apache, and it is absolutely infuriating how slowly it performs.

Beside mod_proxy, you can also use mod_rewrite.

For Apache-related questions, you will have better luck at Devshed.com's Apache forum. Do a search there, you will find more than you wanted to know.

Can you really use mod_rewrite when the other server is on the private NAT network rather than being accessible to the world?

Yes so long as your external server has access to your internal server. That said, so the following is possible:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/icons/(.+) - [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://192.168.0.2/$1 [P,L]

People don't have access to your http://192.168.0.2 doesn't matter. Yes, it's possible with mod_rewrite, but not the ideal way to do it. Implementing port forwarding is more efficient.
