Hi,
I am a network administrator and have created a php mysql monitoring system to monitor a network i work with. However, the only connection to that network is a linux box running apache, mysql and php (serving the pages to me). It has two network cards one for my network and one for the network I monitor. I run things like pings and store that data in a mysql db. Using this data I server pages on the ip address of my network. (are you confused yet?!) Its setup like this so that I can gather statistics from my remote network without breaching it!
The problem is that my devices have a web interface that I would like to show on a page. I thought that using iFrame (CSS) would solve my problem. However, quickly i realised that it wouldn't work because the ip address of my machine cannot access the ip of the devices directly. Hence the floating page would just time out.
Does anyone have any idea of how I would be able to dynamically load the remote devices web interface just accessing the http server through the NIC on my local network? I had a few ideas maybe cached or something but I am completely lost. Thought I would ask around here.
thanks a lot guys.
