Reverse Proxy without Domain

Hi,

I have an embedded device that is running a Hiawatha web server.
I view/configure my embedded website via this Hiawatha web server using IP address. I do not support DNS resolution.
I need to redirect some subfolder of my website to another IP.
E.g. my Web server address is 172.26.5.5, but the hiawatha.conf contains hostname=127.0.0.1 , and I can successfully reach my embedded site.
Now I need to redirect 172.26.5.5/somefolder/*.html requests to IP 192.168.6.6, that is not reachable from outside.
How can I configure the VirtualHost section (hostname, ReverseProxy, something else) in hiawatha.conf in order to achieve my goal?
Note, the second IP address is running lighttpd.

Thanks a lot!

Use the UrlToolkit for that:
UrlToolkit {
ToolkitID = redirect
Match ^/(somefolder/.*\.html) Redirect http://192.168.6.6/$1
}
