how to redirect http request to another internal machine based on URL

  • 772

I have a windows 2008 server at home (on a vmware server) along with other virtual machines, I want to open port 80 in my firewall, but I want to redirect the request to the correct vm. for example if the request is http://myserver/SVN I want it to go to my svn vm, if it's for http://myserver/Blog I want to go to another vm. what's the best approach?

And How hard is it to have https redirects as well?

    You could use a reverse proxy. If you're using apache, this is what a basic reverse proxy setup would look like for http://myservers. This let you map directories to backend or even remote servers.

    ProxyRequests Off

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

    ProxyPass /svn http://svnvm
    ProxyPassReverse /svn http://svnvm

    ProxyPass /blog http://blogvm
    ProxyPassReverse /blog http://blogvm

    Edit: fixed formatting
