Well, I've not used the proxy module, but out of curiosity I took a look
at its documentation
	http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_proxy.html
and I wondered about two things:
- You might try http://localhost/vdradmin/    <---!
- You might try using the plain example they state in that document;
  like they don't have any rewriterules there that I saw. Based on what
  they say, I'd figure you better stay clear of it:

And pliiz calm down. Sounds like what you're trying to do is pretty
standard. I'd say your chances of success are pretty good :).
