Proxy remap woes

We are running Teamsite 6.1 on Windows 2000 sp4, IIS5.0 and are struggling a bit with the concept of virtualization, or using a proxy remap.

Here's the scenario: We have a small internal website and want to enable an author to edit and view (in their branch) a subset of the content and a developer (in another branch) to be able to edit ALL the content. We decided to go with 2 sub-branches, we'll call them AUTHOR and EDITOR, and then used a proxy remap so that when the author previews pages, they render properly. Here's the setting in IW.CFG that seemed to work:

[iwproxy_preconnect_remap]
_regex=^/iw-mount/default/main/Intranet/CorporateSecurity/CorporateSecurity_Author/WORKAREA/Author_Workarea/(.*)=/iw-mount/default/main/Intranet/CorporateSecurity/CorporateSecurity_Editor/WORKAREA/Editor_Workarea/$1

Here's where we ran into trouble - when the author attemped to edit a file on her branch, it saved changes instead on the EDITOR branch!

Are we missing the concept here?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

I think you want the iwproxy_failover_remap not the iwproxy_preconnect_remap.

Checks the docs for more details.

Also, you might want to map from Author_Workarea to the STAGING area of CorporateSecurity_Editor branch (as opposed to Editor_Workarea) so that you are previewing against approved work and not somebody's work in progress.
