When the book was released, Doug (who sits 2 cubicles next to me :) had not
yet cleaned up and ported that functionality, so I mention it but could not
give any specifics.

Yesterday I submitted a patch to the Apache docs@ mailing list documenting those
directives. 
I can try and help you with the setup, first step is to get Apache compiled
with SSL support and understand how to generate certificates:
http://www.apacheworld.org/ty24/site.chapter17.html
and the mod_ssl docs/tutorial at apache.org

For the SSLProxy* directives these docs are old and for raven ssl, but apply
for the most part
