Neil, Thanks for the answer, I will do that.
But still I want to understand the behavior of both modules, who get called first? Where can I read about this? Thanks for your time. Tamer -----Original Message----- From: Neil A.

Simple answer - don't mix them in this way (that's what I've been doing, anyway)! Stick to mod_rewrite and you should be fine: RewriteRule ^/testing/(.*)$ http://myserverB/$1 [P,L] RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://myserverA/$1 [P] ProxyPassReverse /testing http://myserverB/ You can include: RewriteRule ^/testing$ /testing/ [R,L] before the above if you want to handle a missing trailing slash.
