For those interested, I ended up using different ports to achieve the
desired result. There may be a better way but this works for me:
Server 1
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName server.mydomain.com
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://60.234.nnn.nn:8008/$1 [L,P]
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName otherserver.mydomain.com
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://60.234.nnn.nn:8081/$1 [L,P]
</VirtualHost>
Server 2
NameVirtualHost *:8008
NameVirtualHost *:8081
<VirtualHost *:8008>
ServerName server.mydomain.com
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://server.mydomain.com/$1 [L,R]
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:8081>
ServerName otherserver.mydomain.com
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://otherserver.mydomain.com/$1 [L,R]
DocumentRoot /var/www/html2
</VirtualHost>

Subject: Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] RewriteRule question: forward requests from
one Apache server to another
Ok so I checked httpd.conf on server 1 and I stupidly hadn't included
RewriteEngine On. I've done that and now I get served up a
site from server
2, but it's the wrong site.
I have two virtual hosts set up as follows:
Server 1
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName server.mydomain.com
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://60.234.nnn.nn:8008/$1 [L,P]
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName otherserver.mydomain.com
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://60.234.nnn.nn:8008/$1 [L,P]
</VirtualHost>
Server2
NameVirtualHost *:8008
<VirtualHost *:8008>
ServerName server.mydomain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:8008>
ServerName otherserver.mydomain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html2
</VirtualHost>
When I browse to http://otherserver.mydomain.com I get served up the
http://server.mydomain.com site. This is the same site that I
get served if
I browse to http://serveripaddress:8080. So I don't think the
host header is
being passed properly from server 1 to server 2.
Why do you imagine it would?
You've told apache that if it receives a request for
otherserver.mydomain.com, to make a new different request for
http://60.234.nnn.nn:8008/. So the internal server sees a request which
doesn't even have a hostname header (you're using an IP in the rewrite).
To do it the way you want to, you'll have to give names to the internal
sites (mapping to the 60.234.nn.nnn IP) and then refer to them by name in
the RewriteRule.

I guess you left the usual doc-root pointing to htdocs in the
main part of
the config (outside the VH).
So if you get the default page then it's not the RewriteRule
- the request
is not getting into the VH container.
Did you do:
NameVirtualHost *:80
to tell apache to use name-based virtual-hosting?
Before worrying about rewriting, get the VH working: comment
out the Rewrite
rules, stick a temporary docroot in the VH container and
check you can hit
it.
