[ale] redirect rule for RHEL5?

[wolf at wolfhalton.info]

How about leaving the orders.domain.com virtual domain on port 80 and
setting the concrete.domain.com to listen only on port 81 or 80 on the
internal NIC.  Virtual servers override the apache2.conf don't they?
Then on your nameservers, make an alias.  Even godaddy lets you do that
sort of redirect.  Who is your registrar (rhetorical question) ask them
if they can help you set it up.

Can one specify the inernal NICs IP and external NICs IP in the 2
different virtual hosts both using port 80?  I thought that was the
point in virtual hosts.   

I realize now that I misspoke below.   On the external interface I want
to get to it via the domains specified earlier.  On the internal I don't
mind getting to it via http://hostname  and http://hostname/orders.

I don't think a simple rewrite rule is going to work. His web server
is listening on both interfaces, but he wants requests to the external
interface to always go to "example.com/orders" when the request is
actually for "example.com/".

One way to do this would to use virtual hosts. Have "example.com" on
port 80 and "example.com/orders" on port 81. That would let you use a
firewall rule to route external traffic to the correct application
(port 81) without having to specify a different port. Only trouble is
your internal users would have to specify port 81 if they wanted to
hit the "/orders" page.
