Topic: Rewriting/Redirecting configuration issue

[jrhooker]

Complete n00b, to the point where I'm not even sure if what I'm stumped on is a redirection issue or a URL rewriting issue.

Essentially, I'm running multiple tomcat servers (Eclipse Infocenters, to be exact) on a single Windows 2003 server. Each tomcat server is running on its own port.

I'm also running an Apache server, and I've set up redirects so that users can hit the various tomcat servers via simplified names:

Redirect permanent /xmlmind http://proxy.pmc-sierra.com:8080/xmlmind
Redirect permanent /xmlmind2 http://bby1xcms02:9996/help
Redirect permanent /hyphy http://bby1xcms02:9999/help
Redirect permanent /synthephy http://bby1xcms02:9994/help
Redirect permanent /rda_wiki http://stoker/wikifarm/wiki000/
Redirect permanent /RDAHelp http://bby1xcms02:9993/help

However, as soon as a user hits the redirect (i.e. they go to http://[my_domain]/hyphy) the URL that they see their browser is the url of the tomcat server (i.e. http://bby1xcms02:9999/help) and I'd like them to continue replace the servername:port with the virtualized name.

What function am I looking for here? What should I be googling for answers?

Thanks,
Jeff.

You search for a reverse proxy.
