Hi all!

I tried out Apache2 and it reverse proxy feature and found something
interesting to make sks webqueries work with a restrictive firewall
blocking access to port 11371:

- --- /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default ---

~    <Proxy>
~        Order deny,allow
~        Allow from all
~    </Proxy>

~    ProxyRequests off

~    ProxyPass /proxy http://sks.nerdcamp.net:11371
~    ProxyPassReverse /proxy http://sks.nerdcamp.net:11371

~    ExtFilterDefine fixtext mode=output intype=text/html \
~        cmd="/bin/sed s/:11371/\\/proxy/g"

~    <Location /proxy>
~        SetOutputFilter fixtext
~    </Location>

- --- SNIP ---

Then I changed my form to send all queries to sks.nerdcamp.net/proxy
instead of sks.nerdcamp.net:11371 - and it works quite fine. Okay
using sed as output filter is not really nice but this works even
when sks result pages contain absolute urls.

Perhaps it might be intresting for someone :-)

Cheers,
Jan
