Looks good; I'd recommend keeping *.html files on the front-end as
well, since they tend to be static, and also any traditional *.cgi
since they don't need mod_perl's bloat on the fork/exec.
Also, specifying "Port 80" inside each virtual on the back-end is not
necessary, though perhaps setting a

On the front end:

=head1 Front-end Back-end Proxying with Virtual Hosts
This section explains a configuration setup for proxying your back-end
mod_perl servers when you need to use Virtual Hosts.
The approach is to use unique port number for each virtual host at the
back-end server, so you can redirect from the
This leads me to believe that the Rewrite engine is ignored when an
Alias kicks in, otherwise the *.shtml files would be bounced back to
the back-end server where they get properly expanded. Normally, this
is ok for me since everything else in the aliased directory is an

listens on the loopback interface (if that's what you want).
I just ran into a bit of a conflict with Alias and Rewrite on my front
end.
Given that I have multiple virtual hosts serving up the same content
using a slightly different set of graphics and templates, the easy way
is to "Alias /_pageparts /real/page/parts/directory" and make the

Has this bitten anyone else? Stas, I think you should mention this in
the guide somehow as something to watch out for when using the proxy
front-end. The Rewrite rules are ignored when an Alias expands the
URI, or so it seems from where I sit.

Duh. Ya know, sometimes you stare and stare and stare and it doesn't
come to you. I don't even need mod_alias at all...
Thanks!
