Sun Java System Web Proxy Server 4.0.2 2005Q4 Administration Guide

Important Notes on Virtual Multihosting

You will need to disable the Client autoconfiguration feature before you can configure reverse proxy mappings. Doing so will not cause any problems because the Client autoconfiguration feature is for the forward proxy operation, not reverse proxy.

The Virtual Multihosting feature establishes automatic reverse mappings. In other words, do not create reverse mappings for mappings that you enter using the Virtual Multihosting page.

Virtual mappings are specified with virt-map function in obj.conf.

Virtual mappings are matched in the order specified in the obj.conf configuration file. If there are regular, reverse, regular expression, or client autoconfiguration mappings before the virtual mappings, they will be applied first. Similarly, if no matches are found in virtual mappings, translation will continue to the next mapping after the virtual mapping section in obj.conf.

If the port number of the proxy server is changed, you will need to recreate the Virtual Multihosting mappings, as they now have the wrong port number.
