What I have setup now is working well. I’m hoping to get some feedback  
on this. Any potential problems with this setup?

I have a firewall setup to allow _only local_ access to the needed  
ports, except 80

In Apache 2.0 main conf file:

\<VirtualHost \*:80\>  
ProxyRequests Off  
ProxyPreserveHost on  
\<Location /app1\>  
ProxyPass [http://127.0.0.1:9020/app1](http://127.0.0.1:9020/app1)  
ProxyPassReverse [http://127.0.0.1:9020/app1](http://127.0.0.1:9020/app1)  
  
\<Location /app2\>  
ProxyPass [http://127.0.0.1:9020/app2](http://127.0.0.1:9020/app2)  
ProxyPassReverse [http://127.0.0.1:9020/app2](http://127.0.0.1:9020/app2)

In NGINX config file:
