[users@httpd] rewrite question
We have a web site that is being pounded pretty hard. The web site has lots of graphics and our bandwidth is being killed. We have a dedicated server at another location where we get more bandwidth cheaper (but the overall processing sucks so it can't push the full site).
We would like to rewrite all gif/png/jpegs for www.domain.com and domain.com to go to images.domain.com. Basically we have rsynced the content to the second domain and until we can tweak the thousands of HTML pages we want to just redirect.
Anyway have a working rule handy for doing this. I know we will still take a bandwidth hit but like I said, this is just a work around for now.
Thanks.

Proxy won't help you...in fact it will kill your bandwidth even worse
because you're still serving up all the same content, plus you have to
fetch it from the other server. The rewrite rules the [R] flag is the
correct approach. Also, consider using a permanent redirect like
[R=301] if it will in fact be a permanent set up.

Assuming you have sensible URIs, you can:
ProxyPass /images http://images.domain.com/images
If not, then you can:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*\.(jpg|png|gif))$ http://images.domain.com$1 [R,NC]

Assuming you have sensible URIs, you can:
ProxyPass /images http://images.domain.com/images
If not, then you can:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*\.(jpg|png|gif))$ http://images.domain.com$1 [R,NC]
