My home server is running webmin on port 5050, and apache on port 80. There is a firewall at work blocking pretty much every port available except for 80. I read posts on the newsgroups that webmin can be run from apache. Currently I have a dns (x.y.net). When webmin is integrated into apache, it will have the address webmin.x.y.net... How does this work?

this is the expample code taken from the http.d conf...

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName webmin.alfert.com
ServerAlias *.webmin.alfert.com
ErrorLog /var/log/apache/webmin.alfert.com-error_log
CustomLog /var/log/apache/webmin.alfert.com-access_log combined
ProxyPass / http://192.168.1.3:10000/
ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.1.3:10000/
</VirtualHost>


how exactly does this work? Will all requests sent to webmin.alfert.com be sent to port 10000 on alfer.com? I'm clueless on virtual hosts.

Specifically, I want to be able to access webmin on port 80 by using the webmin.x.y.net address, but is that possible?

Edit: I already have a webpage running on port 80 with apache, and i'd like that to still be accessable with x.y.net

after being given the message "you are no longer allowed to post on these forums message" in the networking forum, i decided this forum would probably be better for this question anyway... If not, please move it mods
