: Point sub directory to another IP? We have a website that we want to keep on it's hosting - www.domain.com. We then want to point a sub directory to hosting that is somewhere else www.domain.com/new-website.

It's a better idea to use sub*domains* for this, just create another A-record for the subdomain and then you're done.

If you want to use the sub-directories still, you have two options:

Apache's mod_rewrite to write a subdomain to a directory, where you'd create sub2.example.com and it would be accessible via example.com/dir2

My recommended approach, however, is to use the mod_proxy (Make sure all of the mod_proxy* modules are enabled).

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
<Location /directory2>
ProxyPass remote-ip-addr:80/ #you can have servers running on any port
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
