In the end I managed to solve the problem only with rewrite rules. The solution might not be perfect, but it works. # send back requests from the old server RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$ RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://123.123.123.123:8080/site/ [NC] RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://123.123.123.123:8080/site/$1 [L,R] # all requests to oldserver RewriteRule ^/oldserver/(.*)$ http://123.123.123.123:8080/site/$1 [L,R] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://123.123.123.123:8082/site/ [NC] RewriteRule ^/(.*) ... (rewrite to local zope server) the key seem to be the capture of HTTP_REFERER, because REMOTE_ADDR was not usable. -ee Am Montag 17 Februar 2014, 19:39:50 schrieb Yehuda Katz: > Your best bet might be to do your own reverse proxy to the old server which > will allow HTTPD to rewrite the links for you. > Rewrite rules are not appropriate for this situation. > > Look at ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse. > > - Y > > On Mon, Feb 17, 2014 at 7:05 PM, Eggert Ehmke <eggert.ehmke@xxxxxxxxx>wrote: > > I took over a domain that was previosly hosted on anther server.
