Hi Uwe,

as I undestand you can reach your webserver thru the internet and you
then want to connect further from this machine to your vdr box - right?
;-)

if your webserver is running apache it's easy:

- check if mod_proxy is installed, 'httpd -l' lists all available
modules
- recompile apache with mod_proxy enabled if necessary
- insert the following line into your httpd.conf:
  ProxyPass /somedir/ http://vdr.yourdomain.com:8001/

This should pass all requests made to
http://webserver.yourdomain.com/somedir/somefile.html to
http://vdr.yourdomain.com/somefile.html

Have a look at the mod_proxy docu - there's a lot more funny and useful
things you can do with.
