[users@httpd] redirection question

Hi all,

I currently host a web site that uses the URL (not real name) 
http://machine1.mycorp.com. Also, I had the DNS updated so that the URL 
http://anotheraddress.mycorp.com redirects to my site.

What I would like to do is, for users who go to the 
http://anotheraddress.mycorp.com ONLY, to redirect to a subpath of the main 
URL, for example, http://machine1.mycorp.com/anotheraddress.html.

In the Apache documentation, I have only been able to find redirection 
instructions within the same URL. The version I'm running is 2.0.54.

Any help will be immensely appreciated,
Leandro Reis

It's not clear what you want to happen if people go to a subpage under
anotheraddress.  I'll assume you want every request for that site to
be redirected to anotheraddress.html on machine1.

You can do this using mod_rewrite or name-based virtual hosts.  I'll
show the second technique:

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName machine1.mycorp.com
  DocumentRoot ....
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName anotheraddress.mycorp.com
  RedirectMatch / http://machine1.mycorp.com/anotheraddress.html
</VirtualHost>
