This may be a silly question but how would I go about giving mod_proxy
some knowledge about another module which it should call if the module
is installed ? Obviously, I understand how I could hack mod_proxy itself
in order to tweak the selection but I do not understand how mod_proxy could:
1. Check for the presence of a module
2. Given that the module is present, somehow ask the module to return
the correct proxy.
Again, this all makes sense when I think of it in terms of a shared
libraries but not so much as Apache Modules. Am I missing something basic ?

I am trying to write what I assume will be a connection filter for use with

selectively chain proxy requests, kind of like ProxyRemote except with far
more granular control. Can someone give me an idea of where I should start ?
If the implementation of ProxyRemote does everything you need, but it
doesn't allow for dynamic configuration, you should develop a patch
that allows it to call out to another module to determine the next
proxy.
Or, add hooks to let mod_rewrite do it via setting some note.
I don't think you want to be in the business of duplicating this stuff
or trying to subvert the request during an input filter
