Did this experiment work ? . Right now we have a simillar requirement to
host Mobilink redirection with Multiple Mobilink server connecting to
multiple consolidated DBs with a single webserver (Apache).

Which is the recommended way of doing this ? Any suggestions?

Thanks,
John Yovas

This is the difficult part: "multiple consolidated DBs"

If I have 10 users, which consolidated databases will each of these
users sync with?

That is the single most important question at this point.

Please outline what you want or expect to happen.

Dave,

The requirement is to host mobilink servers in a single
machine for multiple corporates in a hosting center. Each
corporate will have their own mobilink server connected to
corresponding Cons. DB. Using a webserver redirection how we
will acheive this just changing the url_suffix from the
client params ? If this is the case how will be directory
setup for apache redirection. If you have some document
supporing this can you please point out that

Thanks

If you do not plan to have more than one MobiLink server per consolidated
Database, then I would suggest using Apache's mod_proxy to reverse proxy the
synchronization requests to the desired MobiLink server.

Okay, that was the information we needed.
I agree with Shuchit's suggestion of using mod_proxy.

I think that allows you to give a different domain name to each company
as well, or at least the same domain and a different suffix.
