it is not possible to make netfilter parse http headers, redirect accordingly to Host header ?

can someone please suggest me some software which could be used to achieve this ? squid can, but i think it is likely very bloated.

Thank You

No, Netfilter is a packetfilter.

I don't think Squid is "very bloated". But if redirecting is all you want to do, you could take a look at pound (http://www.apsis.ch/pound/)
or search for "reverse http proxy" using Google.

Grts,

Depends on how you build it. Anything can be turned off.

(Yes I am biased, being a developer for squid.)

Hi,

Do you need a reverse proxy?
I think that you can use Apache and mod_proxy to do this, it's very common and easy to do.

In this case Apache will be functioning as a reverse proxy.

The op man not need a reverse proxy per say, but something that functions like one.
