Enable SSL / Forwarding

Hi Guys,

I've a tricky question here and would greatly appreciate your assistance.

There is a request from a user to Enable SSL on https://intranet.xyz.com.au (company name hidden for privacy purposes). The DNS record is currently setup to the point the above path to 172.20.102.33.

However unchanging the above the user has requested that the path should now be handled by another server (172.20.113.29)

Could you please suggest a solution.

Many thanks

Any other suggestions apart from changing the initial DNS record.

Perhaps Conditional forwarding whereby the request for only https://intranet.xyz.com.au is handled by 172.20.113.29

Thanks

That's a pretty hack-y way to approach the situation. Is there a specific reason why non-https traffic for intranet.xyz.com.au needs to stay on 172.20.113.29 ?

woops the IP in my last reply should be 172.20.102.33

On DNS part, it is pretty easy to do, you just need to change the A record of intranet.xyz.com.au to new IP address only, if you not control the DNS then you should ask the authority who have access to it to change to reflect new IP.

The hard part is on the server, the server admin have to configure for the cert to work on the new server, like I said above.
