Ah, ok. The reason I did this is that the original had
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}:80 ^.*$ and this only worked if I included the :80
in my browser line.

My main reason for including that is that the zope document I read at
http://www.zope.org/Members/Jace/apache-vhm said I should include those
lines. I shall remove it. Thanks for the tip :)

I have done this at a rewriteloglevel of 3 and I get the following output:

sd213.52.146.197 - - [13/May/2002:15:27:30 +0100]
[zaphod-content.mydomain.com/sid#80dd578][rid#8134048/initial] (2) init
rewrite engine with requested uri /
213.52.146.197 - - [13/May/2002:15:27:30 +0100]
[zaphod-content.mydomain.com/sid#80dd578][rid#8134048/initial] (3) applying
pattern '^/(.*)' to uri '/'
213.52.146.197 - - [13/May/2002:15:27:30 +0100]
[zaphod-content.mydomain.com/sid#80dd578][rid#8134048/initial] (2) rewrite /
-> 
http://127.0.0.1:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/zaphod-content.mydomain.com:80/
213.52.146.197 - - [13/May/2002:15:27:30 +0100]
[zaphod-content.mydomain.com/sid#80dd578][rid#8134048/initial] (2) forcing
proxy-throughput with
http://127.0.0.1:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/zaphod-content.mydomain.com:80/


This to me looks correct. The request is being translated to
http://127.0.0.1:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/zaphod-content.mydomain.com:80/

Or is this not what it should be proxied to ?
