Route traffic through proxy server

Posted by Bluz, 09-08-2012, 05:26 PM

I was wondering how would I be able to make it so my main website shows up an IP in another server location? I basically want it to go like this, Server 1 > Server 2 > ISP Just wasn't able to find anyway to do this online, would it also get badly ranked by doing this as well?

If you are running linux you can try iptables NAT.

Yu can install a reverse proxy on the server whose IP you want to be public, and then configure that reverse proxy to connect to the "real" server to service requests that it receives. This is possible with nginx, squid, and varnish. Each of these tools has their place, but nginx is probably easier to setup and generally works better than the other two.

I agree, nginx is the best solution. It also has built-in caching so it can handle high traffic websites. For extreme loads you could use nginx + varnish.
