.htaccess Rewrite "external" subdomain to subfolder if match

Question

Lets say i have wildcard subdomains on an external domain, can be anything like

demo.site1.com

blah.site1.com

and have directories like these on an external websites

external.com/websites/demo.site1.com

external.com/websites/blah.site1.com

and i want to make it so that all requests for lets say demo.site1.com should rewrite to

external.com/websites/demo.site1.com if the subdirectory matches demo.site1.com

NO REDIRECTION, I MUST KEEP THE URL THE SAME...

I have to do this for multiple subdomains with the same kind of subdirectories.

Is it possible to do?? if not is it possible without matching???

I read the apache .htaccess docs over and over for the past 12 hours and can't seem to

figure out a way how to do it.

Your help will mean alot to me...

You should configure Your domain in domain administration panel to point at this addresses.

If You don't have access to them use iframe, but as far I know .htaccess doesn't provide this kind of functionality.

can i do it even if it doesnt match? – user2316189 Apr 24 '13 at 15:23
Or what if the external websites are addon domains instead? – user2316189 Apr 24 '13 at 15:28
You should be able to do it anyway. Search You domain registrar FAQ/Help pages. – Gustek Apr 24 '13 at 17:27

try this. put it inside htaccess on site1.com document root. it work only if both domain has permission to access together

 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.site1.com/(.*)$
 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ external.com/websites/$1.site1.com/$2 [L]
