[UCIMC-Tech] help/advice for RFU website

[Josh King]

In that case, I think the easiest thing would be to use Apache's 
mod_proxy on fixx0 to forward connections on a particular (sub)domain or 
path to port 80 on grimlock. I recently used something similar at work 
to forward web requests from an external web host to an internal. I can 
work on setting that up; suggestions for the subdomain or path that 
should be used?
