Port Redirect

Gumeni — Wed, 13 Dec 2000 11:45:58 GMT

I need to redirect all http traffic from my network to Internet, to a proxy server that is different from firewall server after following schema:
Source: 0.0.0.0/80 -> Destination: 1.2.3.4/8080
(where 1.2.3.4 is IP of the proxy server).
I am using RedHat 6.1.

Gumeni,

The simplest way to perform this is to redirect your http traffic to the other server.

This is easily accomplished viat the redirect command. Edit your/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file and add the following statement to the end of the file:

redirect / http://1.2.3.4:8080

Then issue a

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

This will allow the Httpd daemons to refresh and reread the configuration.

You could also accomplish this via the WebMin interface at http://localhost:901

Hope that helps.

Have a Great Day!
