Due to the application that Oracle released on this verion (Oracle
Clinical) we really don't have much of choice. Unfortunately due to
the fact that the version of Apache that comes with this, we would
like to setup a reverse proxy to hopefully protect the server from the
casual script kiddie and hacker. So you would recommend sticking with
the standard Apache 1.3 branch to accomplish this?
