If you're using the ProxyAllow
or
+ ProxyBlock
directive, hostnames' IP addresses are looked up
and cached during startup for later match test. This may take a few
seconds (or more) depending on the speed with which the hostname lookups
occur.
Description: | Words, hosts, or domains that are banned from being +proxied |
---|---|
Syntax: | ProxyAllow *|word|host|domain
+[word|host|domain] ... |
Context: | server config, virtual host |
Status: | Extension |
Module: | mod_proxy |
The ProxyAllow
directive specifies a list of
+ words, hosts and/or domains, separated by spaces. HTTP, HTTPS, and
+ FTP document requests to sites whose names contain matched words,
+ hosts or domains are allowed by the proxy server. The proxy
+ module will also attempt to determine IP addresses of list items which
+ may be hostnames during startup, and cache them for match test as
+ well. That may slow down the startup time of the server.
+ ProxyAllow joes-garage.com some-host.co.uk rocky.wotsamattau.edu
+
rocky.wotsamattau.edu
would also be matched if referenced by
+ IP address.
Note that wotsamattau
would also be sufficient to match
+ wotsamattau.edu
.
Note also that
+ +
+ ProxyAllow *
+
allows connections to all sites.
+ +If the ProxyAllow
is not present,
+ the default is to allow all sites (except those blocked by
+ ProxyBlock
).
