I'm having one hell of a time trying to do something pretty simple and I have a feeling something is up with my underlying configuration and was wondering if anyone had any ideas.

I had rewrite 3 installed and working fine but I needed to use rewrite 2 for some sharepoint proxy stuff I need to do.  I uninstalled rewrite 3 and installed rewrite 2 (and registered it and restarted everything).

Using simple rules basic stuff is working.  for example.  This simple to redirect rule works fine:

RewriteRule /test http://law7/test [I,R]

Any request to my front end IIS server with /test redirects the user to the internal server and displays my test page.

However when I change this rule to be a proxy rule:

RewriteRule /test http://law7/test [I,P]

I get a 404.

Furthermore when trying to use any RewriteProxy directives I get the same thing.  error 404's.  I've checked the permissions they are correct.

Any ideas on what would cause the proxy features to not work like this and how to fix it?

Thanks.
