[users@httpd] url string search and replace

[Maria Fogarty <mf...@tcd.ie>]

Hi,

Does anyone know a simple way to do this?  I'm trying to test a 
replacement web server hosting about 200 sites. To avoid absolute links 
referring users back to the original server I'd like to do a rewrite or 
output filtering on the fly to search urls for a given string (the name 
of the original server) and replace all occurrences with the name of the 
second server before processing the request.

E.g.

www.server1.ie/whatever... gets re-addressed on the fly to 
www.server2.ie/whatever

where 'whatever' is the same on both boxes and not all urls may contain 
an absolute server reference (if they're relative)

The original box is live so I have to be careful how I go!

Anyone know how I can do this under apache 2.2.8?

Thanks,

Maria
