I didn't want users to have to remember a new URL to access it, so by using the Redirect directive in httpd.conf on our Web server, users enter the URL http://www.ourwebsrvr.com/webmailprog, they're redirected to the webmail server (and presented ssl-enabled page, to boot). The directive looks like this, keeping in mind the URL that users enter into their browsers (see above): Redirect /webmailprog https://oursecondsrvr.ourdomain.com/proggy/proggy.pl Of course, there's plenty of info out there on the Redirect directive. Is that what you're after?
