serve a file as if it was from another domain?

Hi,

A client is requesting the file test.html from the domain example.com

Can apache return the file test.html but let the client think it is from www.otherDomain.com?

Thanks

Hi,

yes, apache can with the module mod_proxy. It's configured like this:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. ProxyRequests On
  2. ProxyPass        /docs/  http://www.example.com/docs/
  3. ProxyPassReverse /docs/  http://www.example.com/docs/
with your vHost using the servername/serveralias www.otherdomain.com. This will make the client think all documents unter /docs/... are residing on your frontend apache server. Btw., this is a nice trick to protect a Micro$oft IIS web server from worms and other attacks by placing an Apache in front of it.

Regards,

Bernd
