This is what i have been trying to do all along through mod_alias :)

This is what the users enter into their browsers:
http://webmail.some-domain.tld

>Redirect /webmailprog https://oursecondsrvr.ourdomain.com/proggy/proggy.pl
This is what i have in my vhost.conf file:
<VirtualHost webmail.some-domain.com:80>
  ServerName some-domain.com
  RedirectPermanent / http://otherdomain.com:8080
</VirtualHost>
And as stated, this does not work. It takes you to the "root" site. So, where does your redirect go (in which file)? I am entering into the vhost.conf file.

OK, so what i did was use your Redirect /webmailprog http://oursecondsrvr.ourdomain.com:8080 under their web virtualhost and it now works. Notice i was trying to accomplish a different syntax of address: http://webmail.some-domain.tld to redirect to http://webmail.some-domain.tld:8080. This did not work.
