[users@httpd] Mapping URL to remote file system
Hi all,
How can i map URL to a file system on remote box?
.. if my apache is running as www.example.com
<http://www.example.com/test>, then if i want to serve content for
www.example.com/test from different box other than local server
Any suggestions?

No.
Obviously there is no way to access a remote file system unless it is
somehow shared with the webserver. So how is the remote filesystem
accessible to the webserver? If is accessible as a normal, mountable
filesystem, then just mount it, make sure the permissions are correct,
and then treat it like any other directory on the local filesystem.
(Or, in other words, your problem is way under-specified. If you want
specific help, you need to give us specifics of your setup.)

I think he's actually looking for a reverse proxy. An introduction to

presuming by "different box" you mean another webserver, mod_rewrite
comes to mind, and as it is, this link here (not all to deeply hidden in
the doc pages ;-) sports sort of a howto:
