Its been a while since I've done it, but I think this should get you
started... You can contact me off-list if you need any more assistance.
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
<VirtualHost www.foo.com>
ServerName www.foo.com
<Location />
ProxyPass http://192.168.1.50/
ProxyPassReverse http://192.168.1.50/
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost www.bar.com>
ServerName www.bar.com
<Location />
ProxyPass http://192.168.1.51/
ProxyPassReverse http://192.168.1.51/
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
The ProxyRequests Off line is important, if you don't turn it off
then you're an open proxy and spammers will love you and bring your
server to its knees. Note that turning this off will not stop your
proxy from working. The ProxyPreserveHost line will preserve the Host
header field in the request and pass it through to the destination
proxy host (192.168.1.50/51 in my example above). The idea is that
you create a virtual host for every domain you want to proxy and
point it to the internal ip of the server hosting the site. The
original host header is passed through, so you don't have to use one
ip per domain. The ProxyPass directive sends requests through, and
ProxyPassReverse modifies server responses to prevent breakage from
redirects (ie: the internal server might send a 302 with Location:
192.168.1.51 in it which wont work... the Reverse directive will
rewrite that back to www.bar.com in the header sent to the browser).
This can be modified to work with ssl hosts and cacheing with other
modules. Note that this can break cookies but there are other modules
to fix that.
