Hey,

For anyone interested I have solved this one.

Instead of using SetEnv I am doing a catch all match after enabling the
rewrite engine in each vhost:

RewriteEngine  On
RewriteRule     ^(.*)$  $1      [E=SISTER_SITE:foo.a.com]

Then in the conf file for the rewrites i do the matches as:

RewriteCond   %{REQUEST_FILENAME}  ^/bar$
RewriteCond   %{ENV:SISTER_SITE} (.*)
RewriteRule   ^.*$  http://%1/bar [R=permanent,L]
