Gary,

While this is a CentOS list and you would probably get better help on the apache
httpd list, I think you're looking for the P flag.  Your web server will
proxy the request for you.  Keep in mind that the source ip of such requests
will be your server, although I believe certain headers get set with the
original ip of the client.

Subject: [CentOS] mod_rewrite issue


I'm installing Drupal 6.2 in the document root of a CentOS 5 install using
httpd-2.2.3-11.el5_1. I'm using a virtual host entry with the following
rewrite rule to enable "clean" URLs:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [R,L,QSA]
This works fine expect the user still sees the "ugly" URL in the
address bar. However, if I remove the R, it breaks completely. Any clues? I can
send more of my httpd.conf if you think it'll help.
much thanks,
