Not sure if this should be marked as an advert or if I've done it
properly,
but ho hum...

Tony, Ian: The application I am beta testing is a reverse proxy:
http://www.at32.com/doc/rproxy.htm

It's quite a clever one, and written partly to allow me to have
multiple
webservers running off of a single IP address (my home web server and
Tivo).
Rather than try to explain how it works (it's quite clever) I've just cut
n
pasted the blurb from the website:

a.. Connect several web servers to the Internet sharing a single or
limited
number of IP's. This makes it possible to host several websites on
multiple
machines without each having their own Internet IP address.
a.. Run several web server applications on a single PC. at32 Reverse
Proxy
allows them to share a single port. e.g. run IIS, Apache or a custom
made
web server all on the same PC.
a.. Combine web content. Seamlessly fuse together several IP's and ports
on
one or more machines into a single output for either one or more
websites.
a.. Firewall. Use at32 Reverse Proxy as a relay to access a web server
across a network without the web server actually being connected to the
Internet.
a.. Reverse Hosting / Virtual Hosting. Direct requests to individual
servers
or locations using the powerful rule functions.
a.. Activation Conditions. It is possible to control the flow of traffic
by
a variety of HTTP header fields. As a simple example you may wish to
direct
traffic for examplesite.com to one server, and traffic to
examplesitetwo.com
to a different server application entirely.
a.. Spread the Load. Using the activation conditions it is possible to
spread traffic across many servers according to the task. You may wish
to
host .ASP scripts on one server for example - and have images servered
from
another. The important issue is that this configuration can be changed
seamlessly within seconds allowing for a transparent end user
experience.
Great for developing or websites undergoing a change.
a.. Alter requests on the fly. at32 Reverse Proxy supports Regular
Expressions allowing you to modify user request header fields live and
transparently to the server. This allows you to implement URI/URL
rewriting
for example (see below).
a.. Alter responses on the fly. Similar to altering requests, the
software
will adjust response header fields after the server has generated them
before sending. For example, you may wish to control caching more
precisely
this way.
a.. Rewrite functions. Needless to say, it's possible to replicate
Apache's
URI rewrite commands. This goes a step further however and allows you
to
apply it to any element of the request or response. Crucially, it's a
lot
easier to implement (though full Regular Expression support allows a
more
traditional approach).
a.. DoS Attack Protection. Built-in protection against DoS attacks is
provided automatically. If you web servers have been vulnerable in the
past
this will provide an additional level of protection, and peace of mind
for
the future.
a.. Browser based admin interface. Allows you to remotely setup or
adjust
the proxy as needed.
a.. Password Option for Servers. If you need to restrict access to a
particular webserver on your network.
a.. Fast and Efficient. Very low memory overhead and minimal CPU load
all
wrapped up in under 300kb.
