apache redirect to local url

Hi All,

I've following setup in the environment.

local-host1 - running website available to world (www.xxx.org)
local-host2 - running sub-domain-website available to local environment.
(test.xxx.org)

now i want to set apache redirect so that whenever outsite request comes for test.xxx.org, it redirects to local-host2 webserver.

I already configured subdomain in dns which is coming to local-host1 currently.

I tried to use rewriterule as well as redirect but it doesn't work for internal website. It works well if i put some external website.

Any help/idea would be appreciated.

thanks

I'm no apache guru, but I seem to recall having done something similar simply using a NameVirtualHost abd a combination of ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse.

Probably not the most elegant solution, but I recall it worked.
