Hi,
My company wants install PHP using a three tier architecture.
The first tier would be an I-Planet webserver running on a Unix box.
The second tier would be the PHP server running on an NT box.
Third tier is a SQL database on an NT box.
There will be firewalls between each tier, so ports will have to be opened up to allow traffic to go through.
The idea is that users would go to the I-Planet webserver and that server handle all the requests. The NT server running PHP would service the PHP requests from the webserver and pass the results back the webserver. The user would never access the PHP server through the URL.
From searching through documentation I found one way of doing this, by using a reverse proxy server. However that's not a good option here at my company, they won't allow that right now (for whatever reason).
Are there any other options? Is there anyway I can tell the I-Planet webserver that if a request comes in with a .php extension, to look for the php server on a different box?
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks!
Mike Kempe
