I the past, when I've setup a proxy/app server configuration, it's always been to forward certain url's to the app server, with the rest being processed by the proxy.
However, I need to turn this around. I want to pass everything to the app server, except for some url's that point at static content (images, mostly). I initially thought something like this would work: ----------------------- ProxyPass On ProxyPass / http://other.server.com:1234/ ProxyPassReverse / http://other.server.com:1234/ alias /graphics /local/path ----------------------- However, /graphics also get's proxied to the app server. This isn't what I want. I don't think mod_proxy can do this; at least it's not clear to me how to if it does support this feature. Would mod_rewrite be a better solution? Match on the URL's that I want processed locally (and stop), else map the url to the app server, and forward the request? What's the best way to do this? (in case you're wondering, the back-end app server will be generating most of the content dynamically; I could just have a set of heavy servers, but I'm trying to offload what I can to a lighter front-end. In the end, however, it may not be worth the effort, since the number of static files will be small compared to the dynamic content...) -klm.
