Subject:Q: different servers, routing and subdomains

Hi folks,

I have a question regarding a specific server setup and the routing rules:

There are two servers: one is the "official" server which holds the domain (www.somewilddomain.com) and the official, static website and a second server which will hold the Pylons application. The second server should be reachable through different subdomains: shop and support

=> shop.somewilddomain.com => support.somewilddomain.com

I would approach the configuration as follows: - the first server gets two subdomain entries pointing to the second server (which has no domain name) - the second server uses Apache + proxy_pass to route the traffic to the Pylons app - the pylons app on the second server would use the subdomain-features from routes to find the correct controller

Is this the best approach? Any other ideas? Maybe using proxy_pass already on the first server, fully skipping Apache on the second server?

Any pointers would be helpful.

Regards, Andrew
