Hmmm... I'm not sure what is going on here. I'd probably have to set up a similar scenario in order to investigate. As a work-around, why don't you use mod_rewrite to rewrite incoming requests to the server that is doing the redirect, to redirect directly from the proxy to the server that is the end-point of the redirect?Other than the first line, all the lines have a colon. So I am not sure what is going wrong here. Any ideas?
If you know what I mean... :)
Yeah I was thinking of that. I'll just have to get my head around
mod_rewrite (never been able to fully do that).
Yeah, me neither.
As Graham Leggett pointed out, if the redirection is based on the host name (or part of the host name), you can use name-based virtual hosting. Then you can apply your rewrite rule inside the virtual host container (if you need to map the path coming in on the request to the REAL path on you server).
Just off the top of my head, the following has the vague possibility of (accidentally) being something like what you want... (but don't be fooled by my tone of certainty...)
... within your virtual host container... RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/incoming_dir(.*) http://end.server.com/real_dir$1 [R,L]
# if you want to proxy all other requests to the original server... RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://other.server.com/$1 [P,L]
# to help in debugging... (but don't leave it on log level 9 for long). RewriteLog "/var/log/proxy_log" RewriteLogLevel 9
