.htaccess Redirect images folder to another domain

ok so i have 2 domains site1.com/images/ (all images)

and I need to redirect the imgages link site1.com/images/ to site2.com/images/ so that when and when exp. site1.com/images/i.jpg is called it will look at site2.com/images/1.jpg and will find it. .this is basic duplicate of the site and i don't want to move images back and forward.

If the websites are on the same server and running under the same user, you could use symbolic links between both websites.

E.g., create a symlink to /home/site2/public_html/images in /home/site1/public_html/images. Another option is using the Apache's Alias directive:

Alias /images /home/site2/public_html/images

Put this in the vhost config of site1.

Using redirection on Apache:

RedirectPermanent /images http://site2.example.com/images

The best way would probably fixing the HTML code pointing to one domain. If you cannot decide which domain should get the static content, create a subdomain (or even a different domain) to store the files.

Put in your .htaccess on site1.com

Redirect permanent /images http://sites2.com/images
