In fact I can't even get RewriteRule ^dev/192.168.170.212/(.*) http://192.168.170.212/$1 [P] to work, because it redirects instead of proxies... How would redirects from the remote host be handled in this case?You have a [P] at the end. So it is supposed to proxy, and not to redirect. If your server however does redirect than there might be something else in your config doing that. Have you tried running with a rewrite log?
Krist, thanks for the tip. I did that and it showed that the proxying worked, but the remote server threw me a redirect, and my browser followed that and ended up bypassing the reverse proxy! So now I do it like this: ProxyPassReverse /dev/ http:// <Directory /usr/local/prod/web/html> RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^dev/([0-9.]*)/(.*) http://$1/$2 [P] </Directory> And amazingly enough this totally works! Boy do I love the Apache developers ;-) Thanks, Ron
