Forwarding requests to multiple weblogic servers

Question

Hi,
I have two applications running on two different Weblogic servers and wish to
use one Apache web server as a front end interface. I can forward the requests
from apache to one weblogic server using apache-weblogic bridge.
Is it possible to forward requests to either one of the weblogic servers based
on some conditions?
How do we put IF/ELSE IF type constructs in apache configuration file so that
it can get requests for both the weblogic servers and then forward the request
to one of the weblogic servers ? Conditions can be anything like some particular
path, some data in request header, some constant in apache conf file etc
Thanks in advance.

Issue:
How can IIS 4 or IIS 5 be setup to proxy from one IIS server to
multiple WLS servers.
For example:
http://iisserver/myapp --> proxy http://wls1:7001/test
http://iisserver/myapp2 --> proxy http://wls2:7001/test
Resolution:
Proxying to different weblogic instances with one IIS Server can be
accomplished by using IIS Virtual Directories.
a) Create a Web site and two virtual directories for it.
b) Create two directories for the two virtual directories and copy
iisproxy.dll to each of the directories.
c) Create iisproxy.ini files in each directory created at step b. One
for proxying to WebLogic Server A and another for WebLogic Server B.
d) Register each iisproxy.dll to each of the virtual directories with
IIS by specifying the appropriate mime-type. If you want to proxy everything
for that virtual directory, then you will specify a mime-type of *.
Please note that specifying a mime-type of * will not work with IIS 4.
e) Make sure you set the Application Protection to HIGH for each
Virtual Directory.
