Hi all,

The information on the backhand website is a tad short on details, so
I've got a question before I start my implementation. 

Basically what I want to know is, does mod_backhand work as an HTTP
proxy? Can I set something up like this:

I have a website called www.test.com. 
www.test.com has the IP of 62.255.28.38

When someone hits www.test.com it comes through a Cisco PIX and
redirects to a DMZ address of 172.16.22.1, this is the primary server
for www.test.com

Can I setup a machine, www2.test.com on 172.16.22.2 but never give it an
external IP address?. Thus www.test.com will proxy requests as needed to
www2.test.com without the end user ever seeing anything?

>From there, over time, load 3 more backhand-ed servers into the DMZ
without ever having to expose more machines to the internet..

This is the impression I got from the website but I'm not 100% sure. Am
I way off? Does every machine need to have it's own internet routeable
IP?


Thanks.
