Re: URL "names" in redirection.

If you're runnung a new version of apache, you can use the
Proxy rule to do this. You'll have to enable mod_proxy. These
look just like regular rewrite rules, so on the first server you
might do:

/(.*)		http://someserver.ab.com/$1 [P]

Otherwise, the first server will have to do an http redirect
and that will change the url.
