Just in case anyone gets the wrong impression, using ProxyPass with the VirtualHostMonster works just as well as mod_rewrite. Afer all the [P] flag on the RewriteRule is only saying 'hand this substituted URL' off to the proxy module, which also has to be loaded into Apache.
The advantage of using a RewriteRule instead of a ProxyPass is that a more complex match and substitution can be made on the requested URL. Often this isn't necessary so mod_proxy does a fine job; but I use either depending on circumstances.
Yes, and thanks for changing the subject line. I meant to just be asking a question, so I hope I didn't sound too alarmist. Zac
