1 I'm sure this can be done.

3 I know about mod_proxy and mod_proxy_html and it's functions as a
4 reverse proxy. But the thing is my current understanding of these
5 mod_proxy is it's suitable only for servers which are in the internal
6 network and has names such as
7
8 www.example.com -> external IP
9 internalserver.example.com -> NAT IP
10
11 external -> internalserver
12 www.example.com/internalserver (using mod_proxy and mod_proxy_html)
13
14 what if the NAT IP'ed server has it's own DNS? say www.example2.com.
15 Can apache still be used to get to it? using Mod_proxy?
16
17 I'm just trying to figure out if this is a valid scenerio.
