Apache mod_rewrite mod_proxy_html

Hi,

I'm using Apache and mod_rewrite to rewrite all request from an external
URL to an internal URL. Unfortunatly the content contains sometimes FQDN
to the internal server, which needs to be mapped to the external URL
when access from the outside. So I figured mod_proxy_html should be the
module to use.

So I've set up a virtual host like this:

<VirtualHost 192.168.0.1:8000>

ErrorLog "/var/log/apache2/error.log"
# LogLevel debug

RewriteEngine On
RewriteLog "/var/log/apache2/rewrite.log"
# RewriteLogLevel 9

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[^.]+\.external\.domain\.com
RewriteRule ^(.+) http://%{HTTP_HOST}$1 [C]
RewriteRule ^http://([^.]+)\.external\.domain\.com:8000(.*)$
http://$1.internal.domain

ProxyHTMLLogVerbose On
#ProxyHTMLExtended On
ProxyHTMLURLMap http://([^.]+).internal.domain
http://$1.external.domain.com:8000
</VirtualHost>


If I understand the doc for mod_proxy_html I should see a bunch of
messages in the error-log because of "ProxyHTMLLogVerbose On"; but that
is not the case. Also the content is not being rewriten. Is there
something I'm missing?

Yes. You haven't configured a proxy at all. Nor have you
activated mod_proxy_html. All you've done is to define a
mapping that'll apply *if* you configure those two things.

I suggest reading the reverse proxying tutorial referenced on
the mod_proxy_html page. If that doesn't help, you can get
low-cost support by subscribing as a user of mod_proxy_html.

Well, I thought that mod_proxy_html was enabled, since it's included in
the "server-"attribute of the http-header :)

So how would I configure a proxy? What I basically want is to
reverse-proxy from the outside through apache to several web-servers on
the inside ...
