Reverse Proxy?

drueter
This is a new feature request:

It would be really nice if Astaro Security Gateway V6 could serve as a reverse HTTP proxy, such that the administrator could configure a rule to associate host header with a target host and port.

The current Generic Proxy almost does this--but it does not allow definition of a host header (and obviously is not inspecting HTTP requests).

One way this could be used:  suppose you are hosting a service for 3 clients.  There is a single host, and three separate applications each listening to a specific port.  You could then set up 3 DNS CNAME aliases pointing to the Astaro gateway (client1.myco.com, client2.myco.com, and client3.myco.com), and configure Astaro to forward requests to the correct host and port.

Other reverse proxy solutions:  http://www.octagate.com/, http://www.fastream.com, and Apache.  But it would be really nice to manage this directly in Astaro.
