You probably want to use mod_proxy or mod_rewrite with the [P] option for proxying. ModRewrite would probably require the least amount of apache configuration, once you get the right regular expression that is. Something like "ProxyPass /~user http://machine2.com/~user"; might work, but to avoid putting a line like that in your apache config for each user, you probably want to use a RewriteRule something like this: RewriteRule /~(.*) http://machine2.com/~$1 [P] Note, I'm not terribly good with mod_rewrite, but this should get you started. You could also use the Redirect directive, but that would point your clients to the other server so www.site.com/~user would become http://machine2.com/~user in your client's url, and I don't think that's what you want.
