[ale] redirect rule for RHEL5?

Tue Aug 3 14:36:04 EDT 2010

Interesting.   Mask & Forward looks like a GoDaddyism from my brief web
search.   All the links are referring to GoDaddy videos.

The one page that gave some detail talked about "permanently moved" and
other web messages so it appears GoDaddy is doing some sort of web
redirection not a DNS redirection.    We don't use GoDaddy for many  of
our domains (mainly just the ones we inherit when we buy other
entities).

Some Registrars are also Web Hosting companies (and vice-versa).   Some
also aren't really either but simply resellers that use the big boys for
the real services that you buy under their name.   Some of those are Web
design shops that got into the business because customers don't
understand the difference between email server/hosting, web
server/hosting and domain registration

There is forwarding in DNS but it doesn't specify ports - it is used to
forward DNS lookups to other servers.

OK.  Mask & Forward are registrar-level stuff, and seem pretty
bulletproof...

Registrar isn't the issue - that just points the domains to our DNS
servers which points them to this web server here.   Nothing in DNS
specifies ports for sites - that's all done in web setup.

My last post was basically just a gripe about the lack of documentation
for Concrete5.  It gives you a Readme that list 6 steps most of which
boil down to "use your web hosting company's utilities to do some web
magic" rather than actually talking about how Apache itself should be
configured.   We're using this software because of a 3rd party and they
aren't giving us much guidance.  Not being a web admin myself I know
just enough to be dangerous.  (I am our DNS admin though so I'm sure I'm
correct on the first line.)

How about leaving the orders.domain.com virtual domain on port 80 and
setting the concrete.domain.com to listen only on port 81 or 80 on the
internal NIC.  Virtual servers override the apache2.conf don't they?
Then on your nameservers, make an alias.  Even godaddy lets you do that
sort of redirect.  Who is your registrar (rhetorical question) ask them
if they can help you set it up.

Can one specify the inernal NICs IP and external NICs IP in the 2
different virtual hosts both using port 80?  I thought that was the
point in virtual hosts.   

I realize now that I misspoke below.   On the external interface I want
to get to it via the domains specified earlier.  On the internal I don't
mind getting to it via http://hostname  and http://hostname/orders.

I don't think a simple rewrite rule is going to work. His web server
is listening on both interfaces, but he wants requests to the external
interface to always go to "example.com/orders" when the request is
actually for "example.com/".

One way to do this would to use virtual hosts. Have "example.com" on
port 80 and "example.com/orders" on port 81. That would let you use a
firewall rule to route external traffic to the correct application
(port 81) without having to specify a different port. Only trouble is
your internal users would have to specify port 81 if they wanted to
hit the "/orders" page.
