yes, i think thats whats happening - you need to review the website content you are pointing at. For this to work you can't have any absolute hrefs, and also the backend site may issue redirects, for these to work you need a ProxyPassReverse which will rewrite the Location: header on any redirects the backend site may send.
For example: ProxyPass /test http://other.subdomain.ourdomain.com/ ProxyPassReverse /test http://other.subdomain.ourdomain.com/ proxypassreverse unfortunately is not case insensitive, and the backend webserver may refer to itself canonically, so the location headers may have another hostname. Either fix up the backend webserver to match the proxypassreverse, or add extra proxypassreverse lines. The most common cause of redirects is the / bug handlers of tomcat, and IIS which kick in if your url ends with / and that resolves to a directory, then the webserver looks up what the directoryindex script is (eg. index.html) and sends a redirect. This is something to do with early revision browser releases, I have no idea which ones or if it matters anymore. Also note that mod_proxy got a big upgrade at apache release 1.3.23 that may help things along too in certain cases.
