Can anyone point me to a good tutorial on how to setup and use Apache2 as a reverse proxy? I need to run an Apache1 instance for some legacy stuff, but most of my sites are currently quite happy with Apache2. I'd like to know if (and how) I can run Apache1 on a different port of the same box but have that be completely transparent to any visitors, thanks to the reverse proxy. Ideally I could have Apache2 serve the binaries (images) for this legacy site, but if Apache1 has to do it all (for that site) that's fine. From the reading I've done it seems I'll need to use mod_rewrite to do this, but that scares me a bit, as it seems very complex.
