Summer break is coming up for us college students, so I'm curious if anyone would be interested in taking part in a little project I came up with today.
The goal: Set up a Reverse Proxy over VPN using mod_proxy with Apache 1.3 on OpenBSD The setup: Two fresh OpenBSD installs. Server A: Master server with all images being mirrored. Server B: Reverse Proxy server that maintains a dynamic cache of images fetched over VPN from the master server. The process: 1. Install OpenBSD on both PC's 2. Configure VPN 3. Configure web servers 4. Configure mod_proxy 5. Run tests Basically where I'm looking for help is in writing perfected configuration scripts. -VPN configuration for Server A, and Server B -Perfected mod_proxy configuration that [list]serves images only from cache * has a limit on cache size * cache is built dynamically based on requested images * images not cached are downloaded from the master server transparently via VPN , then are cached and served * oldest images are freed as cache limit is reached and new images are requested[/list] Depending on your level of involvement, you could set up a Server B on your network that we could test out. I'm rather curious how this will work on a global scale. IE) Master server located in Denver USA and Mirror servers configured in the United Kingdom or Japan. [ Edited Apr 8, 2009 ] |
