Re: Re: Apache Reverse proxying - WAS Introduction and first questions

[Wayne <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for that :)

Ok - the next question - instead of having a virtual host... can you
have a virtual directory that gets its source from another host?

www.planetwayne.com -> my default web server - pages and all, normal
there...
www.planetwayne.com/images -> returns web pages from another host (via
proxy) eg 192.168.1.2/images/camera1/

Ta
Wayne.
