Thanks for the response Dave. What you say kinda makes sense, except I've seen reference to using mod_rewrite like this. It could be that I was misreading the pages I found, but I understood that ProxyPass/ProxyPassReverse only affected the HTTP headers, whereas mod_rewrite could be used to modify the contents of a page.
I did find a page referring to mod_proxy_html (not mod_proxy_http) that suggested the module was nothing more than a wrapper for the appropriate rewrite statements. So, I guess my question is how do you do this then, if mod_rewrite isn't the correct option? I do have the ability to change the server and directory for the entire application (we built it to be portable - er, be able to move to a new server relatively easily), but there are some application server specific issues that come into play here. (CFMX 6.1 server, and the app uses a CFC directory located under the server root, but not under the application root). This could be a major thing to change our application structure - something we simply wouldn't do for the sake of a proxy server. It'd be much easier/cheaper just to redirect port 80 directly at the IIS server and let it handle the other vhosts we need. hmmm... a thought occured to me while I was typing up that last paragraph... could the problem simply be that I have a circular IP reference?? The Apache server has a HOSTS entry pointing myapp.myorg.com to the internal IP of the IIS server (say 192.168.0.5). The IIS server knows that myapp.myorg.com points to the apache server (via internal DNS). So if I change the server name for the application to by myapp.myorg.com, then the internal server points to the apache server which points to the internal server, which.... etc. If I were to simply add a hosts entry on the IIS server pointing myapp.myorg.com to 127.0.0.1, would that take care of the problem?? If so, then I shouldn't need mod_rewrite at all, and ProxyPass should do the trick... Thanks again for the feedback. My apollogies for thinking out loud.. so to speak...
