Melanie, you should alter the latter line (above) to

RewriteRule ^/(OpenObject.*) http://server2:9000/$1 [R=301,L]

This way, browsers are able to cache the request (R=301) and will
contact server2 immediately without bothering server1 again. The "L"
option makes makes apache to not process any further rewrites appearing
later in your configuration. See
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html

<path-to-apachectl>/apachectl configtest (tests your config)
<path-to-apachectl>/apachectl graceful (gracefully restarts apache)

should do what you intended. Though, I am not sure if your sessions will
persist, depending on the session-mechanism. See
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/stopping.html
