Ah, I see. Iow, when you have proxypass or proxypassreverse directives in server config, first match wins and per-directory merging works accordingly.
However, as in our case, when all proxypassreverse directives are instead within Location tags, and it's always ProxyPassReverse / xxx, I don't see a way to properly match the right proxypassreverse directive if it also matches a less-specific location, given what I said before about the ordering. I don't think there's a way to make it work properly in per-location without changing the code.

Just convention that the first match is the operative one (which is also why the "!" rules have to come before whatever would match them). Could make it configurable but probably not a candidate for a change in default (IMO) -- Eric Covener cove...@gmail.com
