Hosting sites on the GREEN interface

The responses so far do not seem to answer this part
of Jean Rousseau Franco's Question:

In other words, is there any way to forward incoming
requests on a given port to two different GREEN hosts
based on the hostname part of the URL?

As one who has just studied the EFW Manual with a view
to replacing my Smoothwall and IPcop installations with
EFW, I suspect that this would require either a http proxy
configuration which proxies incoming http/https requests
(so far not part of EFW, but perhaps a valuable addition),
or else separate IP addresses for the two hostnames
which can be set up as Aliases on RED and can then be
separately port-forwarded to the two GREEN hosts.

Port forwarding is just that, forwarding requests to an
internal host given a
certain port. The firewall does not inspect the URL that the
client is
searching for, this is a DNS or HTTP application issue. I
don't believe it
should be the firewall's job to do such a thing, it should
rather be done at
the server.

Best regards,
