I am fairly new to Apache Web Server configuration and i need your suggestion on how the following requirement can be implemented.

(1) I have a web application deployed in Oracle application server and it has an Oracle HTTP Server in front of it.
(2) Now, due to my company's security requirement I need to install Apache Web server in front of the Oracle HTTP Server. Now any request that is coming into the server will have to hit the Apache Web server and from there it has to be forwarded to the Oracle HTTP Server.

I believe that this has to be done via reverse proxy in Apache HTTP server but not 100% sure.

Can any one suggest how this can be achieved? Any direction towards a reference document will be enough for me so that i can pick it from there.

Thanks,
Bala.

This is a classic reverse-proxy application. See the several proxy set-up tutorial pages at apache.org.
