Using Apache's proxy module for specific file types

[Daniel St. Jules]

Hello,

I'm trying to setup Apache to relay any requests for media files such as images and video using the proxy module. So, to do this, I need to modify the httpd.conf to include the proxy module, then add something along the lines of?

 

ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass .*/.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ http://0.0.0.0:81/
ProxyPassReverse / http://0.0.0.0:81/

 

This was something I had whiped up, basing it on the idea that I could simply use conditions like an .htaccess file, but I have no idea if that's true or not as I haven't been able to find a read on what is permitted, or the "syntax" of the httpd.conf file. So, I was wondering if someone could confirm whether or not this is infact possible, or if I'm going about this all wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
