--- Comment #4 from Yann Ylavic <[email protected]> ---
The proxy is requesting front.example.com but gets a certificate from
back.example.com, how could it validate the peer's CN positively?
Isn't back.example.com the man-in-the-middle?

When ProxyPreserveHost is on, the host part of the ProxyPass's URL is used only
to resolve the IP address (which could be used there instead, with no
difference).

Contrariwise, if one uses ProxyPreserveHost because the/some backend uses the
same Host as the requested one, should the check fail because (s)he sets an IP
address (or a private hostname) in the ProxyPass?

When ProxyPreserveHost is on, either a new directive has to be added to select
the expected peer's hostname (Host vs ProxyPass, bug 54656), or the current
behaviour be applied.
