Configure apache to reverse proxy for specific name

apache-2.2configuration

I have a working intranet server that:

  1. Properly serves some content from http://hqmktgwb01/
  2. Is currently properly configured to reverse proxy from http://hqmktgwb01/dashstats to a round-robin of localhost:3000 – localhost:3003
  3. Also has the DNS name dashstats (going to the same IP)

The current working configuration file can be found here: http://pastie.org/1426082

I would like to modify the configuration so that:
   4. http://dashstats/ performs the same reverse proxying http://hqmktgwb01/dashstats.

I tried to achieve #4 by modifying the config like this: http://pastie.org/1426047 (added lines 90-98) but this is not a valid Apache config.

Please help me to modify the original config file to accomplish 1-4 above.

I seem to have gotten it working using this configuration: http://pastie.org/1426986

I'm not certain that it is the best practice, but it appears to be working. Full config included below in case Pastie goes down:
