I think your problem may be the ^ in the folowing line:
RewriteRule ^page/(.*) http://domain.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?page=$1 [P]
since a URL path usually begins with a /. Try
RewriteRule ^/page/(.*) http://domain.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?page=$1 [P]
instead.

Subject: Re: [users@httpd] Forcing External Redirect requests through mod_rewrite and proxy
Joshua,
its doing an internal redirect to the local server. I need it to make an external request to that URL and pass through the data it gets back.
I need it to do that so that it hits the load balancing hardware, and sends the request to the server group that can handle the requests for that mime type...

Hi all,
ok, this may sound wierd, but I'm sure you guys have heard it all...
I am trying to do a proxy redirect using the [P] directive at the end of
a mod_rewrite rule. Here is what my .htaccess file looks like :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !-s
RewriteRule ^page/(.*) http://domain.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?page=$1 [P]
What I want to happen is for this proxy request to not be an internal
one, but make the request externally. The reason for this is because we
have load balancing switches that determine where requests go based upon
the URI, and this machine is not supposed to handle the .mvc scripts
(another bank of machines is)...
So, a request comes in for http://domain.com/page/2 and I want it to
send out a proxy request to http://domain.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?page=2
The reason I do't do a Redirect, is that I do not want the URL to change
in the users browser...
is there a directive to add to the [P] that can tell it not to do this
request internally ???
or better yet, is there another module, or resource I can find that I
can use to accomplish something similar ???
I don't understand your question. What exactly is the above
configuration not doing that you would like it to do?
Joshua.
