How to use a single domain to host two different websites with different port numbers on two different physical servers?

Question

I want to host http://somedomain.com on shared server somewhere. And I want to host http://somedomain.com:89 on my home server running Apache. What's the easiest way to set this up?

Answer 1

The only way to do this, is to use one of your servers as a proxy to the other.

Answer 2

You could do this with load balancing

Answer 3

Isn't 89 reserved by IETF for a telnet gateway?

I'd suggest that you maybe choose a different port number?

Have two instances of Apache running, first is on standard port 80. Second instance is on your selected port and has a redirect to your final server.

HTH

cheers,

Answer 4

I have done this before, my registrar (dyndns) support those type of redirection (I was working on Windows 2003 Server)
