First thank you for your reply Christian, We are not apache experts but we understand proxy. We have read the mod_rewrite and do understand what it can do for us but one thing it does not indicate with a lot of apache information is what happens at the transport level. Although at a proxy level the stream stays open and waits for transport and ACK from client to backend. When the rewrite is use does it close connection or send ACK. I would not think so but getting an 3rd party would help solidify this question.

Maybe this is just me. I suggest you configure proxy1 as the rewriter/proxy and proxy2 to be as transparent as possible (-> no rewriting, just proxying). To make your config more clear, you should use mod_rewrite to define the proxying (in case you do not know this, read the manual) Proxy1: RewriteRule /EloanWeb/EloanWeb.aspx \ http://proxy2/BixTalkHTTPReceive/BTSHTTPReceive.dll [proxy,last] ProxyPass / http://proxy2 Where do you get that query string from? Is it in the incoming request? If not, then you have to add it to the request with the querystringappend option to the rewrite rule. (Read the manual) I do not understand why you put proxy[12] in your path. Also I do not know where you see a connection problem. Besides, rewriting and redirecting are very distinct things and proxying has nothing to do with redirecting. It's just two methods, that are often used in the same config. Just my two cents. regs, Christian On Thu, Oct 18, 2007 at 03:28:21PM -0700, Shaw, Dan wrote: > Hello > > > > Problem: Need to proxy an incoming URL to an internal web server. > > > > Requirement: Needs to be a double proxy.
