Having a directory on a different server

[Dronealone]

Hello,

Does anybody know how to achieve the following:

I have

http://www.domain.com

on a server running Apache.

I want

http://www.domain.com/directory

to be the root of another Virtualhost on another server of ours running Apache.

Any ideas?????

Thanks!

I don't think it can be done that way. You can however, point to that vhosts dir anywhere on your network using just one server.

You could create a virtual server on the second apache server

http://directory.domain.com

This server would have to have it's own ip address and the DNS records would have to be set accordingly.

Did you look into mod_rewrite? I have found it useful on my server to redirect requests for mail.somehost.com to

http://www.somehost.com/mail

(less typing for the user, easier for them to understand sometimes, the say "well, I thought my mail server is mail.somehost.com..."
