You shouldn't need proxying, not for mod_rewrite. Just symlink /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/rewrite.load to /etc/apache2/mods-available/rewrite.load, then restart apache. Job done. At least that's always worked for me, at least once on Feisty. I guess it may depend on which type of apache worker you're using, but that seems unlikely. Oh. Hang on. I think maybe the [P] in your rewrite rule is telling it to use a proxy. have you tried [L]? That’s very strange. You shouldn’t need proxying, not for mod_rewrite.
