Hi All,

I have a problem in setting up an apache webserver. The following is a description of our network setup.

a. The domain name have 2 ip address a.a.a.a and b.b.b.b hich point to our firewalls.

b. For each external ip we have a dedicated firewall.

c. Behind the firewall is our network based on internal ip address c.c.c.c. The Web Server is part of this network.

The problem is that if i try to access the Web Server from an external network (ex my own private home internet) i can only access the Web Server through the IP (a.a.a.a); if i try to access the Web Server through the other ip (b.b.b.b) nothing happens.

Do you think i have a wrong setup on my Apache or the network per se?

Thanks for your help and time

Nick

Nick,

Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

Assuming both firewalls are directing traffic to the same hostname/ip-address, I would guess the problem is with firewall-b. You could probably monitor the access log from Apache while attempting to access the site on b.b.b.b, and see if any requests are passed through.
