I have a non-Apache server listening to port 8001 and Apache listening port 80. I want a certain virtual domain to actually be served by the non-Apache server over port 80.
Example:
<VirtualHost *:80>
Servername example.com
# Forward this on to the server on port 8001
</VirtualHost>
I thought I could do this with mod_proxy and ProxyPass with something like this.
ProxyPass * http://www.example.com:8001/
But that doesn't work.

star is only valid in a block. Forward slash is what you want.
The reverse proxy ensures that redirects sent by your port 8001 server are adjusted to the canonical name name of your proxy.
The apache manual has some examples. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_proxy.html
