title: Proxy mechanism - forward subdomain to external server
body: <p>How can I redirect one subdomain to an external server without using a proxy ? I use the mod_proxy - ProxyPass setting that works.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;
          ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
          ServerName sub.domain.org
      ProxyPass / http://otherDomain.org
      ProxyPassReverse / http://otherDomain.org
  &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My current concern is that all traffic goes through domain.org. This is a virtual machine while and otherDomain is a real physical machine. I use OtherDomain because the webservice is data heavy. Would proxying the full traffic through domain.org slow down everything? How can I just forward to otherDomain.org ? Edit: Please note that domain.org is registered at a provider but otherDomain.org is just a machine with an IP address, registered nowhere.</p>
