Hey everyone.
I've been working on a few projects as of late that involve getting multiple servers to talk to each other through a proxy portlet on the main web server. It's not going so well, so I'm wondering if I should be going in a different direction.
I'm mostly concerned with three servers: a main server, and two application servers. I want the main server to be a reverse web proxy and call the application servers transparently. The main server is a tomcat server, and the application servers are apache based. The tomcat server is public facing so it can be accessed anywhere, but the two apache servers are completely internal. We want it so that you have to go through the tomcat web server to get to the app servers.
What I would like to know is what direction should I take in getting this to work properly? I've been researching some solutions, but this is not at all my specialty. I was hoping someone with some more knowledge than I can shed some light on how I can go about getting the result I need. Is a reverse web proxy the best solution, or is there something else I can do to acheive this?
Thanks guys! I appreciate any suggestions / help!
