Hi,

I realized I forgot to mention we are running  apache 2.0.

this was already set in our server config.

this doesn't help.  this is (part of) the log line for the initial request:
[rid#ccdee58/initial] (4) RewriteCond: input='/'
pattern='.*\.cfm|cfc|cfml|jsp|jws$' => not
-matched

it isn't until after it processes the .htaccess file in the domain's
docroot that i see this in the rewrite log:
rid#ccef280/subreq] (2) init rewrite engine with requested uri /index.cfm

i need to use the proxy rewrite at this point, but it seems like by this
point i lose the ability to preserve the requested hostname for the proxy
server (for which i can use ProxyPreserveHost On in the server config or
vhost block).
