[users@httpd] Redirect/Rewrite question

[James Sherwood]

Scenario:   I have an apache server on a global ip and one behind a firewall attached to tomcat via mod_jk.  I would like to redirect or rewrite from the global apache to the one behind the firewall.   What I have done: I am trying to do a rewrite and it is working somewhat.  This is what I used:   <VirtualHost *> ServerName test.somewhere.com RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^test\.somewhere\.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*) http://192.146.293.40$1 [p] </VirtualHost>   This works in the aspect that it does rewirte to the internal server.  The problem is that the server seems to recgonize it as a localhost request.    I am trying to get it so a virtual host on the internal server grabs it, one like:   <VirtualHost *> ServerName test.somewhere.com DocumentRoot /var/www/htdocs/site </Virtualhost>   Basically I am going to open up the server behind the firewall to a global ip.  But to avoid the 72hour doman delay, I want to just use apache to redirect the urls to the new server and have the new server recgonize it as the original url   Any help would be greatly Appreciated!   James
