If the content is living on the same server as domainA.com (which it
apparently is in this case), then you don't want to proxy. There is no
need to create an additional HTTP request. You just instruct apache to
grab the file directly. So you want something like
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domainA.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /home/user/public_html/siteA/$1
If this doesn't work, tell us EXACTLY what happens: what do you see in
the browser, error_log, and access_log?
If you still can't figure it out, you'll need to use the RewriteLog.
Since you only have access to .htaccess on the live server, you'll
need to setup a test server where you can manipulate httpd.conf in
order to activate the RewriteLog.
