Selective Proxying ala ProxyPass

Hi there,     We're currently evaluating migrating from our existing Apache web-farm to a F5 device, and our initial tinkering is throwing up some questions that I'd like to get some input on.....

The Java app servers are running Glassfish... The Apache webservers are used as an SSL front-end, with the relevant bits being proxied onto the App server as required...

 

 

An example ProxyPass ruleset is:

 

ProxyPass /ApplicationA http://appserver:8080/ApplicationA

 

ProxyPassReverse /ApplicationA http://appserver:8080/ApplicationA

 

 

Basically, I'm trying to make sure that the user cant try and hit anything else on the app server apart from what we're explicitly allowing...

 

 

Cheers
