rewrite problem

[ashwink]

I am porting my application from Apache 1.3 to Apache2
This the part of my httpd.conf used to redirect.

<IfModule rewrite_module>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/servlets(.*) [10.240.1.86:7601...] [P]
RewriteRule ^/jsp(.*) [10.240.1.86:7601...] [P]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(TRACE¦TRACK)
RewriteRule .* - [F]
RewriteLog /home/sites/current/logs/rewrite.log
RewriteLogLevel 9
</IfModule>

The same code works on Apache 1.3 but fails to redirect on Apache2.

The respective logs in rewrite.log are as follows:

Apache1.3:
10.240.1.42 - - [12/Jun/2007:11:32:39 +0530] [10.240.1.13/sid#9d2c05c][rid#9f69a24/initial] (2) init rewrite engine with requested uri /servlets/My_Server

If you observe the "go-ahead with proxy request proxy" is missing.

I see someone posted a similiar problem, but did not find the solution.

Can someone suggest here please

That's a proxy throughput, not a redirect, and depends on the proxy configuration directives to work. So have a look at the section of httpd.conf or conf.d that defines the reverse proxy on the Apache 2 server -- The problem may be there.
