[users@httpd] mod_rewrite

[Richard Schoenig <Ri...@picis.com>]

Hello,

 

I am trying to use mod_rewrite to direct user to another web server when
they request a specific page within our application.  For instance when
a user requests rep*.* with all the following URL information I would
like them directed to an alternate server.  However, once those requests
are completed and sent I would need them moved back for all following
requests.  Essentially this is to move reports being run from one server
everyone hits to an alternate server setup specifically for reporting.
Is this something that is possible?  I have tried setting up one rule on
the originating server to attempt to move everything beginning with rep
to the alternate server, but it does not appear to work, and I haven't
even been able to test the other as I am not being directed to it to
begin with.  I have done Google searches to try and find an example of
what I am attempting to do, but all I keep finding is an all, or nothing
or where only one file is being moved whereas I have multiple rep
entries in the system.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Thank you,

Rich

I wonder if reverse proxy would be a better fit for what you're trying
to do?  Your server could proxy rep*.* requests to your alternate
server, while serving other requests directly.
