You can't do this with redirect. Redirect basically tells a browser "what you are looking here isn't here, but there on this other host", and then the browser will start a new request to the host. So you can only do redirects to hosts the client can see. As the client can see only one host behind your firewall this doesn't work. However, you can achieve what you want in a different way, through "reverse proxying". You configure your firewall to redirect all port 80 traffic to one machine, and on that machine you have two virtual hosts: NameVirtualHost *:80 <VirtualHost *:80> Servername foo.gotdns.com ProxyPass / http://machine1/ ProxyPassReverse / http://machine1/ </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:80> Servername foo2.gotdns.com ProxyPass / http://machine2/ ProxyPassReverse / http://machine2/ </VirtualHost> Krist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bremgarten b.
