Yep, both servers can see eachother and resolve nicely.
I have the following in my vhost entry:
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName remote.domain.tld
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://192.168.1.252$1 [P]
</VirtualHost>
(I could use https://remote.domain.tld$1 since remote.domain.tld resolves
internally to the SBS machine anyway).
This does not seem to work though. There's nothing about the Apache Proxy
in there (no <Proxy *> entries) yet as I haven't a clue (yet) how to get
them to work.
Incidentally, would it matter that the SBS box would only see traffic from
the Apache box? As far as I'm aware the SBS box doesn't really care where
the info comes from.
Cheers.
Grant.
