so i have 2 servers from 2 different regions and this might be a bit odd but i need my users to connect to second server
seconds servers traffic goes into first server
it would be something like a proxy
im using ubuntu 18.04 as my main/first server and centos6.5 on my second server
im using my first server as a lamp server right now
i dont know what passing traffic through servers called so i dont know what to search for

"Reverse Proxy" probably.

Here is a tutorial how to establish a reverse proxy with Apache 2: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto ... proxy.html

Simply "Reverse Proxy" in Google will give you tons of needfull links.

I wouldn't assign a beginner directly with a reverse proxy, that's about the same as if you let a novice driver directly drive a Formula 1 race. You really need some networking knowledge and experience with Apache and TCPIP and HTTP and you don't learn that overnight. You can still try, but don't despair that you might not understand everything.
