I've been running an Fedora Linux at home for a long time on an old
junker PC... its only purpose in life is to take incoming https
connections (from out in web-land), authenticate the user, then
connect the user to one of 3 Tivo boxes that have been modified to run
TivoWebPlus. This gives me complete (and secure) control over my Tivos
via the internet.

My setup uses Apache mod_proxy and mod_rewrite modules so that I can
'steer' incoming requests to the appropriate Tivo boxes on the home
LAN (via the URL), and when the TivoWebPlus page is sent back to the
client all of the imbedded links are adjusted accordingly. It has
worked flawlessly for nearly 2 years.

I can't answer your query,
but I would be very interested to know more about your setup.
Is it documented anywhere?
