Docker apache container redirect to another container

I got two apache containers connect to the same bridge network. First apache 172.20.10.2 and port 8080 (internally 80) Second apache 172.20.10.6 and port 9999 (internaly 80).

First apache is configured with two virtual hosts on port 80. First vhost support mydomain.com on that apache and everything works correctly. Second vhost support subdomain.mydomain.com and redirect to second apache server. This redirects don't work and on logs I got that error:

Connections between containers ignore ports:. If the process inside the second container listens on ports 80 and 443, connections between containers will only ever use those ports, even if ports: make them visible as something else outside the host. Since port 80 is the default HTTP port, you can leave it out of your configuration entirely:

ProxyPass "/" "http://172.20.10.6"

You can simplify this setup even further. As described in Networking in Compose in the Docker documentation, Docker provides an internal DNS system, and each container is accessible from other containers in the same Compose file using its Compose service name. Instead of manually specifying the IP address, you can use that host name in the Apache setup

ProxyPass "/" "http://httpd_2"

Once you've done that, you can simplify the Compose setup considerably. It's almost always safe to let Docker pick IP addresses on its own, rather than assigning them manually. Compose can also assign container names, it creates a network named default for you, and the hostname: setting usually has no visible effect. You should be able to trim this down to:

version: "3.8"

volumes:
  httpd_all:
  httpd_all_2:

services:
  httpd:
    image: httpd:latest
    ports:
      - 8080:80/tcp
      - 8043:443/tcp
    volumes:
      - httpd_all:/usr/local/apache2/
    restart: unless-stopped

  httpd_2:
    image: httpd:latest
    # ports:              only if the service needs to be
    #   - 9999:80/tcp     accessed from outside Docker; not used
    #   - 9998:443/tcp    for connections between containers
    volumes:
      - httpd_all_2:/usr/local/apache2/
    restart: unless-stopped
