I don't think that you're answering the right question. I think the
question was how to redirect requests to one server to another machine.
In the W3C server (nee "CERN"), you can use the Map command to accomplish
this. In your /etc/httpd.conf (or where ever you keep your web daemon's
configuration), use:
Map /elsewhere/* http://elsewhere.com/*
If your machine is called "here.com", then if someone tries to go to
"http://here.com/elsewhere/somefile" your server will tell their browser
to go to "http://elsewhere.com/somefile" - all they'll see is the URL at
the top of their screen change after they enter the request; the new page
will load automatically (it does, at least, in Mosaic and Netscape).
I expect this works equally well with Apache and NSCA
