Reverse Proxying to 2 backends, how to keep the URL-directory prefix having relative paths?

Dear all,

googling didn't do the trick so here my question. Reverse proxying two 

backends by

ProxyPass /app http://127.0.0.1:4444
ProxyPassReverse /app http://127.0.0.1:4444

ProxyPass /wiki http://127.0.0.1:7777
ProxyPassReverse /wiki http://127.0.0.1:7777

I run into problems with the second backend, as its relative paths lack 

the wiki/ prefix.

Rewriting isn't a good idea, as the wiki pages' paths don't have 

prefixes, i.e. href="WikiPageName".

Interestingly, with the first backend I got relative paths running fine 

after eliminating leading slashes.

Is there a more elegant solution to this than modifying the wiki backend 

so that it writes href="wiki/WikiPageName" etc. everywhere?

Thank you a lot in advance,

    Nick
