Hi.
I was looking at this feature request,
and was wondering if we should change the proxypass command
to something like a 'Location' where can set multiple options
or if we should possibly make the ProxyPass sit in the location
it is r-proxying
eg.
<location /foo>
ProxyPass http://www.foo_bar/
</location>
That way we could add other settings for the paritcular r-proxy
like different Timeouts for different r-proxies
and we could make it easier for other people to customize r-proxy later
on (on a individual basis)

>Description:
We use an apache server in front of some other web servers, mostly for logging
in a uniform way. We use proxypass te pass on requests to the other web servers.
This assumes however that the other server has a different name than the apache
server:
<VirtualHost ..>
ServerName front.server.dom
ProxyPass / http://back.server.dom/
</VirtualHost>
For some purposes it would be convenient to do:
<VirtualHost ...>
ServerName front.server.dom
ProxyPass / http://front.server.dom/ back.server.dom
</VirtualHost>
This would allow the back.server.dom machine to have front.server.dom as a
virtual host as well.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Please, add the suggested optional host parameter.
