My company sends out web-based surveys to our customers. These surveys are managed by a 3rd party so the domain name that the surveys are served under is totally different to our domain name. Would it be possible to use ProxyPass to make it look like the surveys were being served under our own domain. The survey URLs look something like this: Page 1 - http://XXXX.com/take/?i=110194&r=20314964&h=ZP26jPoZUCD0xTXxVZoRcw Page 2 - http://XXXX.com/Take/getsurvey.isp?i=110194&PageId=3&r=20314964&h=ZP26jPoZUCD0xTXxVZoRcw&qn=&cn=2 Page 3 - http://XXXX.com/Take/getsurvey.isp?i=110194&PageId=5&r=20314964&h=ZP26jPoZUCD0xTXxVZoRcw&qn=&cn=3 etc. Does it depend on how the web site has been written - so for example if they've used absolute URLs instead of relative URLs would that be a problem? Any advice on how this may be achieved any other way?
The most trouble-free way to do this would be to setup a ProxyPass at the root of the server. Then there would be no question of breakage with relative links. Something like NameVirtualHost *:80 <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName survey.yoursite.example.com ProxyPass / http://XXX.com/ ProxyPassReverse / http://XXX.com/ </VirtualHost> Then you can use exactly the same links in the emails, just replacing XXX.com with survey.yoursite.example.com. If you want to do it more cleanly (ie, with shorter URLs), then you need to worry about relative links. You might be able to use a module like mod_proxy_html to correct them. Note also that proxying will increase the latency for your users. And you'll need to watch out if cookies are being used. See the mod_proxy docs.
