virtualhost/rewrite help needed

Hi

I have a (probably simple) vh (and maybe rewrite?) problem - the rule is
simple at least and should work IMO - it's strange to me why it doesn't.

This is what i do:

NameVirtualHost 217.160.75.67

### ...several vh...

<VirtualHost openspirit.de>
ServerName openspirit.de
ServerAlias www.openspirit.de
RewriteEngine on
RewriteLogLevel 1
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$
http://coforum.org:9080/VirtualHostBase/http/openspirit.de:80/openspir...Virtual
[P]
</VirtualHost>

The domain openspirit.de is simply forwarded to the servers IP
(217.160.75.67). Accessing http://openspirit.de brings me to the main
DocumentRoot, this VirtualHost section is untouched, instead the default
VH is served as can be seen from the default access_log:
62.146.33.60 - - [22/Jul/2003:01:45:25 +0200] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 545
..
Here's the default VH section...
<VirtualHost 217.160.75.67>
### ...
DocumentRoot /home/u8491898
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/u8491898-error_log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/u8491898-access_log common
### ....
</VirtualHost>


Why does it not use my VH section ??

An analogue config works, with the difference that the domain is
forwarded from a dyndns service not a "real" domain provider's header
redirect (here) (I tried also with URL-hiding, same effect)
(Apache 1.3.19)


TIA for hints,

Florian
