I have been trying to set up a website that will enable users to access devices on my LAN through an Apache server. The main scope of this project is to have video and camera controls available over the internet that are currently only accessible from with my LAN. I think I could also do this using port forwarding on my router to access each device on a different port, but it seems a bit messy. I played around with the proxy functions for a while, but I don't think that is what I want. I currently have the router forwarding port 80 to my server and the site is visible on the web, and I can have it route to one of the devices and then it is visible.
How can I have a user go to www.example.com/device1 and have it access http://192.168.250.213 inside the LAN? |

You can set up a reverse proxy for that.
a short example (requieres mod_proxy_html)
| Code: |
ProxyPass /google/ http://www.google.de/
ProxyPassReverse /google/ http://www.google.de/
ProxyHTMLURLMap http://www.google.de /google/
<Location /google/>
ProxyHTMLCharsetDefault ISO-8859-1
ProxyHTMLExtended On
ProxyPassReverse /
SetOutputFilter proxy-html
ProxyHTMLURLMap / /google/
ProxyHTMLURLMap /google/ /google/
RequestHeader unset Accept-Encoding
</Location>
