I've a gentoo box sat behind a firewall - it runs a apache and sshd with |
2 |
holes punched through NAT to allow remote access. It runs DHCP and DNS |
3 |
services for my LAN. |

|
5 |
I would like to run a second instance of apache on a fresh IP address - |
6 |
to simulate a hosted environment supporting https. I need to be able to |
7 |
access my second apache locally by URL on my LAN (which I can map |
8 |
however I chose using my DNS config.) I also need to be able to access |
9 |
this second apache from a remote site (assume gentoo again, for |
10 |
simplicity) over an SSL tunnel - even if the remote server already runs |
11 |
apache doing something else again. It isn't acceptable for the second |
12 |
apache to be accessible publicly. It's also unacceptable |
13 |
|
14 |
I'm think I probably want a VPN (or similar) - or maybe some sort of |
15 |
virtual network interface similar to those employed by VMWare for |
16 |
virtualisation... coupled with PPP over my ssh tunnel. |

18 |
Can anyone give me any hints - or, ideally, a link to a how-to? |
