Quick update on where I am. So, I've installed WDLXTV on my rather aging WD TV Live.
I have setup RTorrent with multiple RSS feeds and scheduling, my WD TV Live has been assigned a static IP behind my Router, and I have setup a dyndns account leading to my WD TV Live.
Now, I want to route traffic within my home network with the assigned DNS.
I want http://wdlxtv.mydomain.com to route to my WD TV Live Webend, and http://*.mydomain.com (excluding the aforementioned) to route to another mini server I'll be setting up at home.
I figure I can easily get around this issue by setting up a Proxy server on my WD TV Live and having it route to itself on a specific Subdomain, or to my other server for all other domains excluding that specific one.
The problem I encounter is this: I know the solution, I don't know how to go about setting it up. I know that two Proxy servers exist here (http://forum.wdlxtv.com/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=1751) and here (http://wdtvforum.com/main/index.php?topic=4926.0). I'm not sure what configurations I'd need to use, or if it's more easily done to use my main server as my Proxy server or a ton of other things. If anyone can tell me how to set this up, or point me to a guide, I'd be duly indebted. I understand the port basics, the security (non localhost) essentials, and the routing configurations, but have no idea how to go about it. I know the logic, I don't know the mechanism by which the logic is enacted.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post. It's my first time setting up an in-home Proxy, and I'm rather inexperienced. :innocent:
