Apache VirtualHost directive ProxyPass

Question

I want to use Apache as a proxy for two different sites hosted on different machines. I am currently running Apache 2.2.15.

What I want to achieve is:

 Client --> https://ApacheWebProxyPubIP:443
        --> /Url1.php --> http://10.0.0.2/Url1.php
        --> /Url2 --> http://10.0.0.3/Url2

I tried using:

     VirtualHost default:443
         ServerName something.nice.org
         ProxyPass /Url1.php http://10.0.0.2/Url1.php
         ProxyPassReverse /Url1.php http://10.0.0.2/Url1.php
     VirtualHost
     VirtualHost *:443
         ServerName somethingelse.nice.org
         ProxyPass /Url2 http://10.0.0.3/Url2
         ProxyPassReverse /Url2 http://10.0.0.3/Url2
     VirtualHost *:443

The /Url1.php to http://10.0.0.2/Url1.php works fine but Url2 is not forwarded to 10.0.0.3.

What would be the correct syntax to achieve this?

Thanks!

If the Client is typing ApacheWebProxyPubIP, then VirtualHost withServerName somethingelse.nice.org will never be used — Dusan Bajic
But both something and somethingelse resolves to the same single public IP and both depend on the same port. How can I then point /Url1.php somewhere and /Url2 somewhere else? — Andy Thompson

Try this in your <VirtualHost> directive:

     ServerName something.nice.org
     ServerAlias somethingelse.nice.org

     ProxyPass /Url1.php http://10.0.0.2/Url1.php
     ProxyPassReverse /Url1.php http://10.0.0.2/Url1.php

     ProxyPass /Url2 http://10.0.0.3/Url2
     ProxyPassReverse /Url2 http://10.0.0.3/Url2
