Command: ProxyBindAddress [<hostname/address-literal>][:<port>+<range>]
Command: ProxyPass ... bind=[<hostname/address-literal>][:<port>+<range>]
Command: ProxySet ... bind=[<hostname/address-literal>][:<port>+<range>]
Context: server config, virtual host
Default: Address: unspecified address ("0.0.0.0" for IPv4; "::/128" for IPv6)
Port: unspecified port (0 => use any port available - OS choice)
Range: 0 (use only the port specified, if any)
Status: Extension
This command is useful in order to restrict outbound proxy server requests to
use the specified IP address(es) and/or (TCP) port range. Such limits may be
imposed by server firewall design as a security measure or for statistical data
collection. The ProxyPass and ProxySet versions of the command override the
general declaration for a particular proxy worker or balancer.
