Any idea how to fix this? The webserver is doing exactly what you told it to do. You told it to serve pages from C:/mydomain/www for any request coming in, and this is what it does. To know more about virtual hosts read the documentation. In order to use apache as a proxy a lot more configuration is needed. It is obvious from what you have shown us so far that you haven't even started configuring your apache as a proxy, so why would it behave as one? Start by reading the documentation here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html If you want to use apache as a proxy and as a webserver at the same time you will probably need to dedicate a separate port to the proxy.
