The original question wasn't completely specified, since we don't know if foo and bar reside on the same machine or not. If they do, you can use a simple virtual host in httpd.conf: NameVirtualHost *:80 <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName bar DocumentRoot /path/to/bar </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName foo DocumentRoot /path/to/bar/site/foo </VirtualHost> If they don't reside on the same machine, you do indeed need to proxy, and mod_rewrite is probably the right tool. You'll need a RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^foo$ [NC] RewriteRule (.*) http://bar/site/foo/$1 [P] You may also need a ProxyPassReverse directive.
