The "best practice"[1] is to use mod_rewrite in conjunction with
mod_proxy, e.g.:

 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteRule ^/(.*) \
URLA/VirtualHostBase/http/%{HTTP_HOST}:80/rootfolder/VirtualHostRoot/$1\
[L,P]

where the backslashes indicates that the pattern should be on the same
line.  The "rewrite witch" can help with getting the rule syntax correct:
