Mapping url paths to an external server

[Jasebase]

Hi there,

Is there a way in Apache to map a url path to a separate server?

For example, I want to be able to map:
http://example.com/blog/ to http://blog.example.com/
and
http://example.com/event/ to http://event.example.com/
etc.

Is this possible at all or am I dreaming?
Or is this a DNS issue and I am completely off track?

Thanks in advance!

If you are trying to avoid using a redirect, which would expose the 'new' URL to the client (e.g. search engines and browsers), then this is an application for a 'reverse proxy.' See Apache mod_proxy, and this recent thread [webmasterworld.com].

Thank you JDMorgan!
I have immediately put this in place and it worked perfectly!
