Reverse Proxy Apache ==> IIS, need custom error pages triggered on IIS side

I’m not sure if this is the right forum, or if anyone can suggest a message board where I might get support on this.

This is what I have. I have Apache and IIS both running on Windows 2k3.

Apache is running in reverse Proxy mode sending multiple domains/virtual hosts to IIS.

Code:



ProxyRequests Off

<VirtualHost *:80>

        ProxyPreserveHost On

        ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080

        ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080

        ServerName mydomain.com

</VirtualHost>

Now, if I type in http://mydomain.com everything works great and IIS (listening on 127.0.0.1:8080) serves the page. However, I am doing custom error trapping, so when I type in http://mydomainmain.com/mydirectory (and /mydirectory doesn’t exist on IIS) I need to fire ASP code (via custom error messages/handling) on the IIS server and then present a data driven page.

However, Apache is returning A 502 error:

Code:

Proxy Error

The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.

The proxy server could not handle the request GET /mydirectory.

Reason: DNS lookup failure for: localhost:8080mydirectory

Is there a way for me to setup Apache to pass all error checking to IIS while using it as a reverse proxy?

Thanks
