mapping subdirectory to a different server

Hello all,

Hope you can help me :)

I am trying to map a website's subdirectory to a different server. How can
I do that... I don't want to mount the other server onto the subdirectory,
and was hoping there is an elegant way (or semi-elegant way) to do this
using .htaccess or otherwise.

Thanks,

steve

You can use Alias /some /somethingelse

you can use a reverse proxy via mod_proxy:
