Apache mod_proxy with hostname

Question

I need to proxy the URL http://de.domain.com/article1/foobar/ to http://de.foobar.domain.com/article1/.

I already have this config.

ProxyPassMatch ^/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/foobar/$ http://de.foobar.domain.com/$1/

But I need to redirect the language in the URL too. So I need something like

ProxyPassMatch http://([a-z]+).domain.com/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/foobar/$ http://$1.foobar.domain.com/$2/

How can I do that?

Answer 1

I don't think using the hostname is possible with the Proxy statements. You probably need to use the rewrite engine.
