Yes!
You can use a separate server just for NGinx…….BUT

You can be utilizing NGinx already as a webserver……And run the reverse proxying on the same machine for other things..like emby or diaspora or wordpress…etc

Hi,

Yes, it really is that simple. There is no magic here. 🙂
All you have to do is configure a reverse proxy and have your router redirect inbound traffic coming to port 80 to your reverse proxy server. Everything else is described above. In fact, it’s a straightforward scenario.

And last but definitely not least, thank you for reading Linuxiac!
Keep “fighting”!

For example webserver1 http://www.abc.com and webserver2 http://www.def.com.

Assume the two servers are on the private IP addresses 10.0.0.100 and 10.0.0.110, respectively and my firewall router is on a public address 1.2.3.4. What I want is for port 80 traffic with URL http://www.abc.com to go to address 10.0.0.100 as port 80 and likewise for port 80 traffic with URL http://www.def.com to go to 10.0.0.110.

From your article it sounds like I need to configure a “reverse proxy” server (say 10.0.1.50) listening for all port 80 traffic. It would then act like a traffic cop for routing incoming requests?? Is it really that simple?? I assume the the Internet client is unaware of any of this? Thanks for your article and any comments you might have relating to my project.

ps…like Tony I’m also in the mid+ 70’s and enjoy “fighting” with my computers (Windows and Raspberry Pi’s)….

Hi Amgine,

Thank you for the remark!
Of course, it’s a typo. I apologize. It has already been fixed.

Thank You

Thank you.
