Thanks for the replies.
I managed it finally with ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse
What has caused all the headache was the fact that
the backend server (application server that ran the forum)
had a html meta refresh tag in it's /index.html
and that did not get translated by the proxypass directives.
I don't know whether this is normal behaviour or a bug.
Rewriting of answers if ProxyPassReverse. But this only handles explicit
redirects, not those embedded in the content via meta tags. There is
also a directive to rewrite cookies.
In case you need to rewrite parts of the response bodies, you can google
for mod_proxy_html, which is a module produced by one of the httpd
committers (Nick Kew). The task of rewriting parts of the response body
is more complicated though, from a configuration point of view, but also
from a resource point of view (CPU).

The request always came back with the refresh address of the backend
server which could not be resolved or accessd by the client.

response back to the client.
That's not the way I understand the reverse proxy... the request *is
handled by the backend server, the front end server is used to route the
request. Some folks use mod_rewrite with mod_proxy to integrate the
namespace so the backend server appears transparent, but what is really
happening is that the URL's are rewritten on the fly.

I know this may not be the correct mailing list but maybe
I can find an expert here - I didn't get an answer yet
in any apache forum I knew of:
I have an apache2 and a Tomcat running (in Tomcat I have OpenCMS
running as a content management system)
Furthermore I have an application server in my intranet which can be
accessed
by a firewall rule also from my webserver through the internet.
I'm trying to put some statements in my sites Virtual host section
to map request going to
http://www.mycompany.com/forum to http://forum.mycompany.com/
doing it by
ProxyPass /forum/ http://forum.mycompany.com/
ProxyPassReverse /forum/ http://forum.mycompany.com
I have barred the server http://forum.mycompany.com to the Internet
and only a request coming directly from www.mycompany.com is being let
through.
What happens is that when I access the site from the outside (INternet)
and enter http://www.mycompany.com/forum/ in the browser
I'm seeing that the client (browser, lower left corner in Firefox)
tries to connect directly to forum.mycompany.com which it shouldn't.
From my understanding the site server should do the request and pass the
response back to the client.
Please help.
