Hi.. I forgot to mention, the reason why I asked about this dynamic URL because I have more than 1 internal server and the ip address/hostname for each internal server that I have to connect to is returned from url parameter. for example: - http://<myReveseProxyHostName>/testing/myserverB/otherPath --> http://myserverB/otherPath - http://<myReveseProxyHostName>/testing/192.168.0.88/otherPath --> http://192.168.0.88/otherPath pdt_p wrote: > > Hi... > > from this solution: > RewriteRule ^/testing/(.*)$ http://myserverB/$1 [P,L] > RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://myserverA/$1 [P] > ProxyPassReverse /testing http://myserverB/ > > the original server url is fixed.
