Is this the question? You want a three-part chain: A.com -> Bweb.com -> B.domain.com with only A.com on the web? You might get away simply with mod_proxy on Bweb.com (see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypass). If the proxying scheme is more complicated or has conditional clauses, you might need to use mod_rewrite in proxy mode ([P] flag), see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/misc/rewriteguide.html. NB: Be careful when using the word "redirect". It is a technical term meaning to send a 301/302 response to the client, asking it to retry the request to a new URL. You can't do that since the B machines are not on the web. Rgds, Owen Boyle Disclaimer: Any disclaimer attached to this message may be ignored. > > Is this possible to configure with Apache?
