Is it an option to use different port numbers? That's probably simplest and avoids 3rd-party software. If you put Apache on port 80 you could use mod_rewrite to redirect the ASP pages to the other port. > So I've found Pound v2.2.

There's also a 3-year-old development version of tinyproxy which has reverse-proxy support (the tinyproxy in ports is the stable version, but it's easy to use 1.7.0 instead - iirc just update the version number in the ports Makefile and update distinfo). Squid has 'http accelerator' mode which is a reverse-proxy. varnish.linpro.no looks interesting, but it wants EVFILT_TIMER which OpenBSD kqueue(2) doesn't have. > I also thought that Apache in reverse proxy mode could do the job, but I > failed to have OpenBSD httpd running in that mode.
