Are you talking about URLs embedded inside the pages themselves? There isn't a way of doing this (to my knowledge) just with Apache - however trying to filter the URLs within the content is a bad idea, as there are so many ways of getting it wrong.

First prize is to make sure all the links are relative. If this is not possible, change the URLs so that they are absolute but without hostnames, eg "/images/someimage.gif".

A good rule of thumb is to make the URL on the backend always the same as the URL on the frontend, for example:

ProxyPass /images/ http://backend.com/images/

Do you need help?X

Then everything will just work...

Regards,
Graham
