Reverse Proxy for a Subdomain

The below Apache reverse proxy configuration lets another website be served through a domain. The example is a little contrived. 

<VirtualHost 72.36.165.250:80>
  ServerName proxied-site.samat.org

  ProxyPass / http://google.com/
  ProxyPassReverse / http://google.com/
</VirtualHost>

Cached Reverse Proxy

Use Apache's mod_disk to cache all requests made to a reverse proxy. For example, to setup a mirror to mirrors.kernel.org: 

# Configure mod_disk_cache (usually in /etc/apache/mods-enabled.d/disk_cache.conf)
<IfModule mod_disk_cache.c>
  CacheRoot /path/to/cache
</IfModule>

# Configure reverse proxy
<VirtualHost 72.36.165.250:80>
  ServerName proxied-site.samat.org

  CacheEnable disk /

  ProxyPass / http://mirrors.kernel.org/
  ProxyPassReverse / http://mirrors.kernel.org/
</VirtualHost>

Apache logging

   1 # access.log should be vhost_combined by default
   2 sed -i 's/other_vhosts_access/access/g' /etc/apache2/conf.d/other-vhosts-access-log
   3 
   4 # Remove logging
   5 sed -i '/^\s*ErrorLog/d' /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
   6 sed -i '/^\s*CustomLog/d' /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
