Hi

I need to migrate from one server to another. My plan is to move
everything (mail etc) first, then lastly move my website (containing a
number of virtual servers over).

During the migration however not all virtual servers will be moved in
one go, given all incoming calls will be handled by the one server, how
can I set up apache so that it handles locally the virtual servers
running on the same platform, and redirects calls to the other virtual
servers to another physical server? Hope that clear

Regards
Steve

Copy the configuration from the old server to the new one, then set
all the Virtual Server to use mod_proxy to 'proxy' the requests to
the old server, at that point every request will be passed to the
old server from the new one, so you can move one site at a time and
adjust the new server to not to proxy the request and serve them locally.
