General Discussion / Feature request reverse proxy load balancing
« on: May 20, 2016, 11:41:27 am »
Hi,
I'd like to send in a feature request to setup support for NGINX and Varnish to support a more complex reverse proxy load balancer.
- Support for url and domain routing
- Support for varnish caching mechanism on url content
I know this is a request that will take some time to complete and most can be done with Squid I guess but currently I haven't found an option to setup Squid in opnsense as reverse proxy instead of forwarding proxy.
Any changes locally on squid will get overridden when changing entries in the proxy setup.
Ideally I would like to use OPNsense to load balance a web cluster with url and domain routing and have a caching mechanism in the middle or running next to it using varnish cache.
Not sure if the general discussion is where this request should be placed, if not sorry for posting it in general section.
Really like the way the OPNsense project is heading to.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks
Matthew
