Looks like proxying a site that uses dynamically generated urls that include the
bound ip of the server needs a module to rewrite links in html. Are there any mods
shipped in base that can do what mod_proxy_html mod_xml2enc can for this?

Thanks,

I don't think so. In later httpd versions something is included in the
core to do content rewriting (mod_sed?), but for now you can build the
mod_proxy_html module with apxs and include it.

mod_substitute is included in later Apache's and does a great job. I
actually like it better than mod_proxy_html, since the latter has a
tendency to rewrite a _lot_ of stuff to make it "valid" HTML/XHTML.

Not that that's necessarily a terrible thing, but sometimes I just want
to change what I told it to change...

I used the SRPM from RHWAS to update to the latest Apache on EL5.

Great, the issue I am getting is the browser doesn't understand the
rewritten content as a result of xhtml issues.

Rh's ftp shows httpd-2.2.8-1.el5s2.src.rpm for this rpm as latest.

I'll give a go at compiling this to try mod_substitute.

Thanks guys!

2.2.13 should be the latest...

ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/RHWAS/SRPMS/httpd-2.2.13-2.el5s2.src.rpm

I ended up using the ProxyHTMLExtended mode to catch the stuff in
javascript, etc.

No need to ditch stock Apache:
http://repo.lastdot.org/webstack/5/i386/mod_substitute-2.2.11-1.el5.ld.i386.rpm
http://repo.lastdot.org/webstack/5/x86_64/mod_substitute-2.2.11-1.el5.ld.x86_64.rpm
