Specific DNS entries may be necessary to help clients find the
reverse proxy. Additional requirements for the reverse proxy
certificate can result.

SX-GATE services
The reverse proxy can be used to access the SX-GATE webmail client and the SX-
GATE administration GUI. You might as well grant direct access to SX-GATE's HTTPS
port, however using the reverse proxy allows you to limit access. Typically you might
want to grant access to webmail but not to the SX-GATE administration.
SX-GATE webmail
If this option is enabled, every request with an URL starting with either "/webmail",
"/openwebmail" or "/cgi-bin/openwebmail" will be forwarded to SX-GATE's webmail
client.
To access webmail with a browser you have to append "/
webmail" to the URL (e.g. https://www.example.com/webmail).
Access to SX-GATE admin GUI
This switch enables access to the SX-GATE administration GUI via reverse proxy.
To direct a web browser to the administration GUI "/riabconf/en"
has to be appended to the URL (e.g. https://www.example.com/
riabconf/en).
URLs which start with "/riabconf", "/js" "/styles" or "/flags". In addition requests for
certain files in directories with a one-letter or one-digit name will also be passed to the
administration server.

Backend servers
Userdefined backend servers
The reverse proxy forwards requests to the servers on this list. You can apply different
settings by URL path. Case is ignored. Rules are evaluated top down. If there are
multiple entries for the same path, the reverse proxy will act as a load balancer.
