Thanks for your response.. yes, that is exactly what I want to do, and
yes, I meant proxying the requests and not redirecting them -- thanks for
the clarification.
I've tried many combinations of the following, which I can get to work as a
re-direct, but never a proxy:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domainA.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://basedomain.com/siteA/$1 [P]
WIth a [P] option, I get a 404 error. With a [L] option, I get a redirect
but the domain changes to basedomain.com/siteA and not domainA.com/.
I've tried
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domainA.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /home/user/public_html/siteA/$1 [P]
with both [L] and [P] and it still won't work like I want it to.
I guess I'm surprised I can't get mod_rewrite to silently proxy a call to
domainA.com to basedomain.com/siteA . I'll guess I'll write a little PHP
script to do it for me if I can't get mod_rewrite to do it for me.
thanks,
