Using Apache As A Proxy Server - Going Backwards
(Page 5 of 7 )

You can also have Apache work as a reverse proxy, allowing you to create "shortcut" URLs which appear to be local to the proxy server, yet actually point to external Web resources. Most of this is accomplished via the ProxyPass directive, which requires you to specify both the local path and the remote URL.

Here's an example:

ProxyPass /melonfire/ http://www.melonfire.com/

In this case, any request for the URL

http://proxy/melonfire/

will be automatically forwarded (via the proxy, naturally) to

http://www.melonfire.com/
