Yes, apache can sort this out itself.  If anything else accepts port 80
you'd have to also have a special case to redirect even the local host,
perhaps to apache on an alternate port.

Ok, got it working, but it seems to be redirecting even the localhost.  How can I get the localhost to answer and proxy all other hosts.  Here is my config:


NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.domain.com
ProxyPass / http://www.domain.com/
ProxyPassReverse / http://www.domain.com/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName webmail.domain.com
ProxyPass / http://webmail.domain.com/
ProxyPassReverse / http://webmail.domain.com/
</VirtualHost>
