| I would like to achieve this with Apache: 
 If a client with an IP defined in whitelist.txt tries to access http://site1.com, I want to reverse proxy that to http://site2.com.
 
 If the client IP is not in that list, I just want normal flow to occur and the index.html in htdocs to be served.
 
 I was thinking of doing something along these lines, but I am not sure if that makes sense:
 
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | RewriteMap iplist "txt:/usr/local/apache2/conf/wl.txt"
 RewriteCond "${iplist:%REMOTE_ADDR}" [ I AM NOT SURE ON THE SYNTAX HERE ]
 RewriteRule "^/(.*)" "http://site2.com/$1" [P]
 ProxyPassReverse / http://site2.com/
 | 
 
 If the above, or a version of it works, will the normal index.html be served if an IP is not in the list? Is there a better way to achieve this?
 
 Thanks!
