I'll have to see if I can combine them, I based those two rules on an example, but I may be able to get away with RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^dodo\.foo\.com$ RewriteRule ^(.*) http://foo.com/bar/$1 [P] There are a couple other issues: 1. minor performance issue: all CSS and javascript etc (which all start with /bar/ in URL) do not need a redirect so I should probably filter those out if possible 2. major issue: form POST problem: form POST should probably not get redirected either, but so far I can't find what condition to test for > Considering your latest answer, I am also now inclined to think that > using <VirtualHost> sections would be much cleaner.
