LiveCycle ES4 Reverse Proxy Set Up

Question

We have LiveCycle ES4 SP1 configured and running on WebSphere v8.5 & Windows 2008 R2.  We're primarily using the application for end user PDF conversion services at this point.  However, 10% of our users are outside our networks and without a VPN.  What is involved in setting up a reverse proxy service for the PDF conversion functionality?  Is there any documentation available online that I can reference?
Thanks,
M.

Hi Seshu,
this is the <a href="http://rfc.net/rfc2616.html">HTTP 1.1 specification</a>.
In section 5.2, it reads: 5.2 The Resource Identified by a Request
   The exact resource identified by an Internet request is determined by
   examining both the Request-URI and the Host header field.
which means, that if the proxy asks for a different host, it actually asks for a different resource.
In addition Section 14.23 reads as follows:
14.23 Host
   The Host request-header field specifies the Internet host and port
   number of the resource being requested, as obtained from the original
   URI given by the user or referring resource (generally an HTTP URL,
   as described in section 3.2.2). <b>The Host field value MUST represent
   the naming authority of the origin server or gateway given by the
   original URL. This allows the origin server or gateway to
   differentiate between internally-ambiguous URLs, such as the root "/"
   URL of a server for multiple host names on a single IP address.</b>
       Host = "Host" ":" host [ ":" port ] ; Section 3.2.2
  Kind regards,
