What I probably should have mentioned is that the actual server is on a different machine:
router (port 80): forward to main server (foo.com)
main server (call it main for simplicity): one Apache server running on port 80
aux server 1 (say, 192.168.3.2, call it aux1): one Apache server running on port 80
The web application running on aux1 can't be modified, and its apache server config should not be touched unless absolutely impossible to do it any other way, so all its content has href's and POST etc that start with /bar/.
Until now, I had main setup as reverse proxy to access aux1 from WAN:
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPass /bar/ http://192.168.3.2/bar/
ProxyPassReverse /bar/ http://192.168.3.2/bar/
which works fine.
However the client always sees Location as http://foo.com/bar/*, so recently we were asked if we could hide the /bar/ part and instead access aux1 via http://dodo.foo.com.
I've spent a couple hours trying various things with the rewriterule to handle the POST requests but can't get it to work:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^dodo\.foo\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !GET [NC]
RewriteRule ^/bar/(.*) http://foo.com/bar/$1 [P,L]
(tried many different combinations of R, P, L, and the URL substitution to /$1 etc but no success.
So looking at the VirtualHost option, yes perhaps cleaner, but can't get the client's Location to show the friendly URL:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName dodo.foo.com
ProxyRequests off
ProxyPass /bar/ http://192.168.3.2/bar/
ProxyPassReverse /bar/ http://192.168.3.2/bar/
ProxyPass / http://192.168.3.2/bar/
ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.3.2/bar/
#Redirect permanent /bar/ http://dodo.foo.com/
#RedirectMatch permanent /bar/(.*) http://dodo.foo.com/$1
</VirtualHost>
Uncommenting either of the redirect lines doesn't help.
