That's likely your problem. If you have vhosts, by default mod_rewrite
won't be inherited from the main context. You can fix that by putting:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteOptions Inherit
.. in the vhost, but really you'll be better off putting your rules in
the vhost.
However, if you just want to send 404 requests to an external URL see
ErrorDocument.
Also, see this page for why matching REQUEST_URI in this context won't work.
