This is essentially the reverse of what is normally asked for with dynamic virtual hosting. >From you message, what I understand is that you app must live at the root of the name-space, but you want it to be accessed as the subdirectory of another server. The only way I know to do that is with a reverse proxy: ProxyPass /appname2 http://appname.example.com ProxyPassReverse /appname2 http://appname.example.com That will work to a degree, but if appname.example.com has links in the html pages that are not relative to the current directory, the client will pop right out of the /appname2 space. In this case, you'll need mod_proxy_html as well.
