[Gllug] Apache mod_proxy question.

[Simon Morris]

Hello:

I'm using Apache 2.0 on RH 8.0 to provide a reverse proxy for 2 Lotus
Domino servers.

When users go to the site they get redirected to the address of one of
the backend servers like so:

-----CLIENT TO SERVER-----
GET / HTTP/1.1
Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, */*
Accept-Language: en-us
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)
Host: webmail.westbourne-terrace.com
Connection: Keep-Alive

-----SERVER TO CLIENT-----

HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2003 09:49:02 GMT
Server: Lotus-Domino
Location:
http://wt-domino-01.westbourne-terrace.com/login.nsf?OpenDatabase&Login
Content-Length: 0
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Shouldn't the reverse proxy take care of these redirects? -- The
documentation [0] for mod_proxy (ProxyPassReverse) seems to think so!

The relevant parts of my httpd.conf are included. I have loads of
debugging available if anyone is interested!!

Thanks for any thoughts and looking forward to Linux Expo
