I've had a couple of wifi routers in my brief
time using wifi - mainly bargen bucket stuff like
Belkin and D-Link. Most have a "virtual servers"
feature which allows you to allow INBOUND access to
something like a web server on http/80.
Here's the rub. They are very unreliable with even
firm updates. You can't depend on them.
Additionally, they are quite limited like you can
only make 1 webserver available on port 80 and
one server available on port 443. But if you
want allow access for multiple servers they aren't
up to the job.
So I am now on the hunt for something that
has advanced functionality (such as recognition of
"host headers") to allow many webservers to accessbly
via the router - and for something absolutely
rock-solid reliable. That doesn't need endless reboots
and firmware updates.
Is there anyone here who is using this specific
functionality - who can give me a recommendation on
what to look at?
Regards
mike
