Hi All,

I am hoping someone can help me with a solution. I have a main website that
is also acting as a reverse proxy. Thes proxy is a frontend to a few other
web servers on the backend. All is working o.k... What I'm looking to do now
is to put in place some kind of access control so that the proxy will ONLY
serve web pages from those who are authenticate from the main site. Again,
the main site in on the same server as the proxy.

Here's the setup:

www.mainsite.com  (Proxy)
server1.mainsite.com
server2.mainsite.com
server3.mainsite.com

The www.mainsite.com has my drupal users where they can sign-up and
authenticate. What I want is: If users enter url server1.mainsite.com then
the proxy would somehow prompt users to first login. But, I'm not sure how
this can be done/achieved. I would appreciate any comments/suggestions to
accomplish this.

Regards,
Joe
