redirects conundrum

[Eric Bowman <ebowman@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm struggling a bit with mod_alias, wondering if someone can help.

I have the following configuration, running against httpd 2.2.6

<Location /balancer-manager>
    SetHandler balancer-manager
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from all
</Location>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName example.com
    ServerAlias *.example.com

    DocumentRoot "/var/www/htdocs"
    <Directory "/var/www/htdocs">
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
   
    Redirect permanent /a http://example.com/a/
    Redirect permanent /foo http://example.com/a
    Redirect permanent /login http://example.com/a/login
    Redirect permanent / http://example.com/a/

    ProxyPass /bar balancer://barcluster stickysession=BARID
    ProxyPassReverse /bar http://192.168.123.210:35600/bar
    ProxyPassReverse /bar http://192.168.123.226:35600/bar
    ProxyPassReverse /bar http://192.168.123.227:35600/bar
    <proxy balancer://barcluster>
        BalancerMember http://192.168.123.210:35600/bar loadfactor=1
route=210
        BalancerMember http://192.168.123.226:35600/bar loadfactor=1
route=226
        BalancerMember http://192.168.123.227:35600/bar loadfactor=1
route=227
    </proxy>

    ProxyPass /bar !
    ProxyPass /a/ balancer://foocluster/
    ProxyPassReverse /a http://192.168.123.226:35640/foo/
    <proxy balancer://foocluster>
        BalancerMember http://192.168.123.226:35640/foo/ loadfactor=1
    </proxy>
</VirtualHost>


In a nutshell, requests to /bar go to to one cluster, and basically
"/everything%20else" gets redirected to "/a/everything%20else", and sent
to a separate cluster.  We need this behaviour.

What I'm wondering is, how can I prevent /balancer-manager from
redirecting to /a/balancer-manager?  I've tried everything obvious, and
the only way I can make it work is to remove the line "Redirect
permanent / http://example.com/a/"; which breaks everything else.

Is there a way to prevent /balancer-manager from redirecting similar to
how /bar doesn't redirect, but without proxying?

Thanks in advance,
Eric
