Durno or Logie Durno, located 6 miles (9.7 km) north west of Inverurie in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, is the site of a Roman marching camp, first discovered by aerial photography in July 1975 and excavated in 1976 and 1977.[1]

With a total area between 57.2 hectares (141 acres) and 58.4 hectares (144 acres), it is the largest Roman camp that has been found north of the Antonine Wall.[2] The exceptional size of the camp at Durno has led to it being suggested as the place where Agricola assembled his forces before the Battle of Mons Graupius in AD 84, though the evidence for this has been criticised as largely circumstantial.[3]

The camp was enclosed by a ditch 3.35 metres (11.0 ft) wide and 3.35 metres (11.0 ft) deep.[4] The south west side of the camp was 3,230 feet (980 m) long, and the north west side 1,930 feet (590 m) long.[4]

gollark: Or apache. That can do it too, apparently. Most HTTP servers probably can.

gollark: I don't think it would technically need to do a *full* reverse proxy job, since all it needs to do is look at the Host header (or SNI on HTTPS requests, although that might go away at some point?) and route accordingly, but still.

gollark: I suppose you could install caddy instead of nginx too, but I don't like it.

gollark: ```apache<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName thing1.com ProxyPass "/" "http://192.xxx.xxx.25"</VirtualHost>```seems like something which should work.

gollark: That would probably make your "edge" thing quite busy, since it would effectively be working as... half a reverse proxy.
