[ale] odd http.conf question

[Jim Popovitch]

Hi Robert,

Here is what I use for situations similar to yours,
  Redirect permanent /mailman/ https://lists.sitename.com/mailman/
The above will convert URLs like this:
  http://www.sitename.com/mailman/admin
to this:
  https://lists.sitename.com/mailman/admin/
(notice all the trailing backslashes, they are important)

You can also do stuff like this with RedirectMatch:
  RedirectMatch /(*.gif) http://images.sitename.com/images/$1
where the above line will convert this:
  http://www.sitename.com/banner.gif
into this:
  http://images.sitename.com/images/banner.gif

hth,

-Jim P.

Ok,  I have 2 web servers running.  1 visable to the outside world, one
not.  I have a redirect along the lines of:

Redirect /path/to/private/area http://internalserver.my.com

The problem is the URL returned to the browser is
"http://internalserver.my.com"
instead of http://externalserver.my.com/path/to/private/area"

Will a rewrite rule fix this or is there a better way?  I'm still reading
the
apache.org docs.


:wq!
