Apache2 mod_proxy Proxy Error

Question

My web-app is located in mysite.com:8080. I want to access to it by typing webapp.mysite.com.

So, I followed these steps:

1)Enable needed modules:

a2enmod proxy a2enmod proxy_http

apache2 restart

2)Create /etc/apache2/sites-available/mysite

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName webapp.mysite.com
    ProxyRequests Off
    <Proxy *>
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
    </Proxy>
    ProxyPass / http://mysite.com:8080/
    ProxyPassReverse /  http://mysite.com:8080/
    <Location />
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Location>
</VirtualHost>

3) Modify /etc/apache2/ports.conf

NameVirtualHost *:80
Listen 80

I'm used this settings some days and all be good. But after reloading server, in webapp.mysite.com , I got:

Proxy Error

The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server. The proxy server could not handle the request GET /.

Reason: DNS lookup failure for: mysite.com

Help me, how can I fix it?
