I've got this setup working now. I have a separate rewrite rule in each of the virtual host sections. The trick to getting the proxy server to know which virtual host it is serving is to preserve the host info in the port, i.e., each virtual host gets it's own port. Below is the configuration that I am using. For virtual host 1, I send the proxy requests to port 8201. For vh 2, I use 8202, etc. I send all perl scripts to the apache-mod_perl, though, of course, the rewrite rules can be changed to just do perl scripts in a specific directory. in httpd.conf: <VirtualHost 192.168.1.1:80> ServerName www.example.com ServerAlias example.com ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] DocumentRoot /home/example/www/ ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/example/error_log CustomLog /var/log/httpd/example/access_log combined RewriteEngine on RewriteLogLevel 0 NoCache * RewriteRule ^/(.*\.pl)$ http://127.0.0.1:8201/$1 [P,L] ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:8201/ </VirtualHost> in httpd-perl.conf: Listen 8201 <VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:8201> ServerName www.example.com ServerAlias example.com ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] DocumentRoot /home/juanita/www/ ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/example/error_log-perl CustomLog /var/log/httpd/example/access_log-perl script </VirtualHost> -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ smalltime industries brings you the latest in games, information, art, and interplanetary transport.
