Hi Apache gurus, I have got Apache running on auohsepcb11.oracleoutsourcing.com:10280 The site is accesible thorugh URL oexdev.oracleoutsourcing.com with is the BIG IP mapping to the Internal auohsepcb11.oracleoutsourcing.com:10280 When I try to setup rewriting like that: <VirtualHost *> ProxyRequests On RewriteEngine on RewriteLog /techned/app/a_techned/apache/logs/rewrite.log RewriteLogLevel 9 RewriteRule ^/cgi-bin/java\-rmi\.cgi$ http://oexdev.oracleoutsourcing.com/servlet/ServletHandler [P] </VirtualHost> This is not working though I can access the URL http://oexdev.oracleoutsourcing.com/servlet/ServletHandler using my browser When I configure with the following with the real machine name It works. <VirtualHost *> ProxyRequests On RewriteEngine on RewriteLog /techned/app/a_techned/apache/logs/rewrite.log RewriteLogLevel 9 RewriteRule ^/cgi-bin/java\-rmi\.cgi$ http://auohsepcb11.oracleoutsourcing.com:10280/servlet/ServletHandler [P] </VirtualHost> But the server response is not returned to the initial client. which calls http://oexdev.oracleoutsourcing.com/cgi-bin/java-rmi.cgi Could you please explain what is wrong.
