Hi,

We are using an F5 load balancer for five apache web servers to distribute load 
amongst them.
The Load Balancer is also used for SSL encryption to the end user. The Apache 
servers itself are running http.
 
So we have the following constellation:
https://loadbalancer.url/ -> http://node.xxx.in.lan/
 
We created an Apache RewriteRule within each of the web servers that is used to 
move requests on / to a subdirectory while forcing people to use the 
loadbalancer url as well.
 
http://node.xxx.in.lan/ -> https://loadbalancer.url/directory/
 
RewriteRule ^/$ https://loadbalancer.url/directory/
 
This works perfectly when we access node.xxx as single device. However, when we 
try to use https://loadbalancer.url/ - the rewrite doesn't work, it opens the 
Default Page of the respective server.
 
Has anyone of you tried to use something similar or has an idea what we can do 
at apache side to make this work?
We unfortunatelly have no direct access to the F5 system and would like to 
achieve a solution on web server side.
 
Regards,
Thomas
