[horde] Apache Proxy with Horde/Imp?

[Mike Dorman]

Why don't you just use an alias for each site the maps back to where your
Horde installation is?  I've been using this scheme for virtual hosting for
some time, and it works well:

<VirtualHost x.y.z.x:80>
	ServerName mail.domainx.com
	Alias / /path/to/horde
</VirtualHost>

And, actually, what I do is just set up a /webmail path off of their main
web site:

<VirtualHost x.y.z.x:80>
	ServerName www.domainx.com
	... other configuration ...
	Alias /webmail /path/to/horde
</VirtualHost>
