Hi,

I'm setting up a reverse proxy to be used by different applications working on a tomcat server. The configuration, is using proxy_pass directive but it's not working, have searched but I've been able to figure it out.

The scenario is like this:


|---------------------------|
| (NginX) | -----------------------|-------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------| _____________|____________________________|____________________________|
_____________________(http://www.app1.com) _________ (http://www.app2.com) ________(http://www.app3.com)
______________________________|____________________________|____________________________|
______________________________|____________________________|____________________________|
-----------------------________________\|/____________________________|____________________________|
|_____________| ------> http://tomcat1:8080/app1__________________\|/___________________________|
| Tomcat 1_____| --------------------------------------------------------> http://tomcat1:8080/app2__________________\|/
| (192.168.0.1) _| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> http://tomcat1:8080/app3
-----------------------

If anyone can help with this questions:

1.- Do I need to set different IP for each app on the tomcat server? currently my apps are on: http://Tomcat:8080/app1, http://Tomcat:8080/app2, http://Tomcat:8080/app3 all on the same IP.

2.- Currently I've a config but it seems to have problems with the fact that I need to publish the application as a root let's say http://www.app1.com but this should point to my tomcat on http://tomcat1:8080/app1.


Thanks for your help,
