Apache, and you want to forward certain requests to be handled by reporting
services, then yes, you can make it LOOK as if it came from Apache itself
using Apache's Reverse Proxy functionality.
You'll need to have the Proxy module, and the Rewrite module compiled into
Apache, then set up a section in httpd.conf that looks like the following,
assuming your Report Server is named "RepServ" and is running on Port 80:
RewriteRule ^/ReportServer(.*) http://RepServ/ReportServer$1 [P,NC]
ProxyPassReverse /ReportServer http://RepServ/ReportServer
This way, when Apache sees requests for anything going to a 'ReportServer'
directory, it will reverse-proxy the request to the report server (Along
with everything else on the URL string - that's what the weird (.*) and $1
parts are for.), the report server will generate the report, and return it
to the Apache server (Thinking that the Apache server is just another web
browser), then Apache will send the report to the actual user, making it
look as if it came from the Apache server.
It's all smoke and mirrors :)

Peter|||I agree, it appears more hassle than it's worth.
