Did you use the ProxyPassReverse directive as described on
<http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_proxy.html>
If I understand your problem correctly, having the above directive added
to your firewall (httpd/wmod_proxy?) httpd config, should fix the issue.
I do not think it makes sense to add a "fix" on the origin server, since
it is something that the firewall should handle.
