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.

Hi Axel,

Thanks for your response. 

As you suggest I configured .
ProxyPass / http://www.yahoomail.com/

Yes It works fine. when i type http://hostname:8080/ then it redirect to 
www.yahoomail.com.

=== ==========

I want to build my apache as gateway server. the end user can assess the 
external domain like
www.test.com ,  www.yahoo.com <http://www.yahoo.com/>   <http://www.orkut.com/> 
, www.apache.com through my apache gateway server.

Browser <====> My gateway server ::8080 <==> external domain

1. I established the connection to my gateway server http://gatewayserver:8080 
<https://localhost:8080/> 

Here my question is which is the best way to redirect the request to the 
external domain through my apache server? and how?

I am not sure is it possible way to transfer the request
a. the requested external domain url as pass as the url string string like 
http://localhost:8080/www.test.com <https://localhost:8080/www.yahoo.com> 

I configured 
ProxyPass / http://
It works.

Problem::
The targeted url www.test.com refer the background image with respect to 
relative url like this
 background="images/bg.gif". So that i can't able to retriew it by 
http://localhost:8080/www.test.com <https://localhost:8080/www.yahoo.com> .
If I access the url directly www.test.com. The backgroung image retriewed and 
it shows fine.

Please help me to resolve the problem....and Please suggest if u have any 
sample for gateway server.

Regards,
skumar
