    I have my static IP set to my router. I am running two web servers. I have forwarding all my request on 80 port from the router to my server 1 its working fine. I need a help in setting up like this

    I have domain say mydomain.com when ever I type mydomain.com in my browser it comes to my router then to my server 1 thats fine.

    I have sub domain say mail.mydomain.com when ever I type mail.mydomain.com the router redirects to my webserver1. but what I need is my mail.mydomain has to be served by my server 2. How can I achieve this by using the apache running on my server 1.

    Thanks
    Richard

    Try this, it forwards any request of mail.mydomain.com to the ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    If you put that on server 1 it will forward it to the ip of server 2
    RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mail\.mydomain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/mail/[P,L]
