Using Host For HTTP Request

[bobspero]

I have a server that has access to two web sites that my users do not because of nat's. If I use response.sendRedirect("http://104.22.234.12"); the users will not be able to view the website but if when I run it on the serverit loads. How do I get the web page to open in a container using the server network to load the container?

You would have to install some sort of proxy server on the server, that
isn't really a Java related issue. But if you do that, why not just change
the NAT settings to let the users access the server directly ?

You could of course write your own proxy software in Java, but it is likely
to be slower, less secure and in general less mature than simply using an
existing solution.

the other way to do it is to handle the problem at the application
level. Your server gets the info it needs from the others and
forwards it. The clients have no knowledge of the aux servers.
