Subdirectory mapped to another URL

Hi,

I need to forward (map?) a subdirectory to another url (on a different
computer). I don't want this to be a redirect (301, 302) but something that
is transparent to search engines.

So:
http://www.mysite.com/subdir/xyz.html should really pull content from
http://www.differentsite.com/xyz.html without using 'redirects'

Please help.

steve

Re: Subdirectory mapped to another URL

I am reading some more about this... is it done thru mod_proxy?

Re: Subdirectory mapped to another URL

ProxyPass /my/mirror/ http://site/content/

If you want to do some fixing-up of the URLs, you can use
mod_proxy_html described here:

Re: Subdirectory mapped to another URL

Thanks, Peter.

I cannot locate mod_proxy in httpd.conf. What do I have to do to include it
in apache?

Thanks, steve
