I am not sure I understood all of that, but... When it comes to the yahoomail stuff, the reason you get redirected to www.yahoomail.com is that you are missing the ProxyPassReverse directive. ProxyPassReverse / http://www.yahoomail.com/ However, I am not quite sure that what you actually want is a REVERSE proxy. You may just want a plain old proxy.
In that case you need something like: ProxyRequests On <Proxy *> Order Allow,Deny Allow from all </Proxy> In addition to this, you need to configure your browser to point to the proxy. -ascs ________________________________ From: senthil kumar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 2:04 PM To: users@httpd.apache.org Subject: Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] help work with Proxy pass option Hi Axel, Thanks for your response.
