You can indeed use mod_rewrite for that. But what I think you really want is
a reverse proxy: the proxy acts as if it is the webapp host, but forwards the
requests to the real server behind the scenes.
So if the proxy server receives a request for
http://customer1.mydomain.com/...
It forwards it to the application server as:
http://localhost:8080/customer1/...
The proxy server must also rewrite any URL's in the response (also the HTML
body) as were they generated for the proxy server.
I use this virtual host setup for this:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName customer1.mydomain.com
ProxyRequests off
ProxyPass http://localhost:8080/customer1
ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:8080/customer1
# Use these if the context root also changes (needs
mod_proxy_html)
SetOutputFilter proxy-html # For versions prior to 3.1
#ProxyHTMLEnable On # For version 3.1 and later
ProxyHTMLURLMap / /customer1/
</VirtualHost>
