Re: [SPAM] Re: Apache VirtualHost to another machine

["Brad Alpert" <BAlpert FortBradford com>]

I did a LoadModule mod_proxy.so in Apache, which is a perfectly fine
way to do it in 2.x, evidently.

I did do ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse with zero results. 
Everything still came back to the original, main server instead of
redirecting over to the target machine inside the network.

I could run the domains from my main machine, but I don't want to
have to do that.  That machine runs a lot of other stuff and I'd
certainly like to offload webpages.  I don't think this is a
horrendous request to ask of a mature webserver.  Evidently, it is.

I'm going to proceed to Plan B now, which is to lose my will to live.

:-)

Thanks for the help in understanding.

Brad
