<VirtualHost 192.168.1.46:80>
       ServerName localhost
       DocumentRoot /var/www/html
       DirectoryIndex index.html index.shtml
       RewriteEngine   on
       RewriteCond     %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$
       RewriteRule     ^/webmail(.*)$ https://192.168.1.46/webmail$1 [L,R]
       RewriteLog      "/var/log/httpd/rewrite.log"
       RewriteLogLevel 4
</VirtualHost>

The code given by me is running on 2 servers in my network.We have few
applications of our own and I have done the rewriting rules for
those.Most important it is working for webmail in my domain.


It will be good if you can attach your httpd.conf file
