[users@httpd] MOD_REWRITE MOD_JK Altering host

[Ben Short <be...@benshort.co.uk>]

Hi,

I want to configure apache to alter the host before the request it passed to
my jk handler.

Example:

a.domain.com

needs to be altered to

b.domain.com


I have tried..

RewriteRule ^(.*) http://a.domain.com$1 [QSA,L,PT]

here is the log output

rewrite.log

192.168.1.46 - - [11/May/2011:08:51:03 +0100] [

mod_jk.log

What am I doing wrong?
