reverse proxy using nginx as frontend server.

[Retheesh Kumar R]

Hello All,

 

I am trying to configure reverse proxy on my nginx server. This server
need to sit in the DMZ zone. Receive the web request and forward it to a
backend web server.

I have tried the configuration mentioned here.
http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxLikeApache

 

Note: - Currently No firewall in place so no port restriction.

 

Scenario - 

The frontend server URL is  https://mail.example.com  

Backend Web Server URL is https://mail.webserver.com

 

Challenges - 

*         When the redirect happens the frontend URL should not change.
It should remain the same appending the new page details to the frontend
server URL. 

*         Need https configured from Client to frontend 

*         https/http from frontend to backend web server.

 

Can you please guide me with the configuration. Or let me know if you
need any further information

 

Regards,

Retheesh
