I am assuming that a forward proxy means something that receives requests and sends them on to another webserver or whatever to handle them. For example on one server I look after, I have nginx listening on port 80, with a set virtual hosts each of which forwards requests to either a django runserver, a tornado server running django, or apache running osm tiles server and a php site. My laptop config is pasted here (fedora): http://dpaste.com/261750/ btw, facebook runs nginx proxied to a batch of tornado webservers. of course if this is not what a forward proxy does, please ignore me. -- regards KG http://lawgon.livejournal.com _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
