[ale] redirect rule for RHEL5?

[Lightner, Jeff]

Can one specify the inernal NICs IP and external NICs IP in the 2
different virtual hosts both using port 80?  I thought that was the
point in virtual hosts.   

I realize now that I misspoke below.   On the external interface I want
to get to it via the domains specified earlier.  On the internal I don't
mind getting to it via http://hostname  and http://hostname/orders.

I don't think a simple rewrite rule is going to work. His web server
is listening on both interfaces, but he wants requests to the external
interface to always go to "example.com/orders" when the request is
actually for "example.com/".

One way to do this would to use virtual hosts. Have "example.com" on
port 80 and "example.com/orders" on port 81. That would let you use a
firewall rule to route external traffic to the correct application
(port 81) without having to specify a different port. Only trouble is
your internal users would have to specify port 81 if they wanted to
hit the "/orders" page.
