[users@httpd] Redirect SITEB to SITEA while maintaining SITEB address in browser

[Drill Brain <dr...@yahoo.com.INVALID>]

Low hour apache user.  Hosting is godaddy on a unix share, apache 2.4.3-25.  Web content languages used
are perl and php.


We own several Domains that serve local markets.  These sites are essentially identical save for the 
content tweaked for the local user.  Right now, both pages served and the local site's environment can 
be considered the same.  As we move to a central location, this will, over time, not be true.

We want to maintain the domain names.  We want users to be redirected to the central site.  But, here's
the catch.  We want to maintain the illusion that the anonymous user, visitor, is still at his local site.

If this can be done please continue. (We're ready to do the craigslist thing with the local selector if we 
must)

The illusion has two main parts.  First is the page rendering which we can handle simply.  All we have
to know is what site branding should be used.  Session vars have been used for this purpose.  I assume
a redirection can carry data that allows us to set this session var.

The second part is the mystery to me and involves apache (if it can indeed be done).  

#?  How do get the browser to display a url pointing to the old site while browsing at the new site? 
We don't want a page with SITEB branding to show a SITEA address (SITEA is the new central location 
with all the files and database)


If this is possible what I'd really appreciate is a link to examples or directions on what to read in the documentation 
with notes on what to pay particular attention to.  I can formulate more directed questions as I wade thru it. 

I love examples.

Thank you.

What you are mentioning is not a Redirect, but a Reverse Proxy.

mod_proxy and the corresponding mod_proxy_http can help you with that.

If you need further info you can check:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/reverse_proxy.html

and:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy.html
