There seem to be two problems with this: First, when I enter something into a search box on othersite.com, the URL I get back is on mysite.com but without "othersite", e.g. instead of getting http://www.mysite.com/othersite/search?foo=bar I get http://www.mysite.com/search?foo=bar, which gives me a 404 because I need to be at "othersite" for this. Second, the links on the returned page are all to othersite.com. So if I have a result that looks like http://www.othersite.com/catalog/343, that's the link, period, and clicking on it will skip my proxy. What I need is the link to look like http://www.mysite.com/othersite/catalog/343 Is this possible with mod_rewrite, or do I need a more elaborate solution? Thanks very much.
