Good that it works now, but your original setup would have worked had you added:

ProxyPreserveHost On

to your config.

WIth this option the original "Host" header is preserved, and the
internal server can than select the correct virtual host based on it.

Re: [users@httpd] RewriteRule question: forward requests from one Apache server to another

Thanks for the tip. I prefer that way. The final config is:
Server 1
NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName server.mydomain.com
        ProxyPreserveHost On
        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://60.234.nnn.nn:8008/$1 [L,P]
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName otherserver.mydomain.com
        ProxyPreserveHost On
        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://60.234.nnn.nn:8008/$1 [L,P]
</VirtualHost>

Server2
NameVirtualHost *:8008

<VirtualHost *:8008>
        ServerName server.mydomain.com
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:8008>
        ServerName otherserver.mydomain.com
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html2
</VirtualHost>

Hope this helps someone.

Cameron
