If mod_perl is enabled on the proxy you can simply add something to $r->headers_in prior to the response phase. It will be transmitted to the backend. Otherwise if you have mod_headers you can use the RequestHeader directive. The SSL enabled vhost sets a custom header to one value the other vhost to another. You must set it in both cases or someone can send that header to the proxy and it will be forwarded to the backend. Torsten -- Need professional mod_perl support? Just hire me: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
