[users@httpd] Question about Apache RewriteCond Syntax on Proxy Configuration

[Paula Nousiainen <paula.nousiainen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
How could I make my Apache static content
proxy to understand specified file names ?

I have  a global system with users
in US Madison and in Finland Helsinki.
Helsinki is the main site and Madison
users are using remotely DB located in Helsinki.

User at Madison connects to application
through Apache 7003 port:
http://sun-MADISON:7003/ematrix_xml/WebClient/eMatrixAppletDownloadXML-MDS.jsp

Plan is to forward all other request
to main web server at Helsini except applets mentioned in first RewriteCond
and static files defined in second RewriteCond:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
ProxyPassReverse / http://sun-MADISON:7003/
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*(eMatrixAppletDownloadXML.jar|SwingDownload.jar|eMatrixAppletDownload.cab|SwingDownload.cab)$
[OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*\.(jpg|gif|pdf|png|zip|tgz|gz|html|htm|css|js)$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://sun-MADISON:7003/$1
[P]
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Please, help me to find the reason why
this is not working as excepted ?

If I specify jars and cabs inside the
static files list, then needed jars & cabs are loaded OK locally from
US Madison server.

        RewriteCond
%{REQUEST_URI} !.*\.(jpg|jar|cab|gif|pdf|png|zip|tgz|gz|html|htm|css|js)$

br,
Paula
