Proxy Module bouncing requests

[DBAFrog]

I have Proxy Module on Box1 for getting a site on Box2

a)Proxy_mod is loaded,
b)This is set in httpd.conf
IfModule mod_proxy.c>
ProxyRequests On
ProxyVia On

<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 192.168.0
</Proxy>
c) the vhost block is set
# Virtual host blackwire-Proxy redirect
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.101>
ServerName MyDoMain
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass /var/

http://www/html/

http://192.168.0.104/

#ProxyPassReverse /var/

http://www/html

http://192.168.0.104

</VirtualHost>

But, here is the problem.

when ProxyPass /

http://192.168.1.104

is set I get a 403 FORBIDDEN error. You are not allowed to access / on this server
and
when Proxypass /var/

http://www/html/

http://192.168.0.104

is set it loops back to my proxy server.

WHAT IS UP? My gut sez I have a setting on Box2 to set to let the request from Box1, the proxy, go thru. But, I can't figure out where I need to set this.

Thanks, Frog

P.S. the /etc/hosts.allow file on Box2 is empty.

DBAFrog,

See

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_proxy.html#forwardreverse

for setting up mod_proxy in Apache 1.x or

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_proxy.html#forwardreverse

for Apache 2.x.

Have you tried using a host name instead of an IP address in your <Proxy> container?
