Well, mod_proxy works, but is only a HTTP 1.0 proxy (with Apache 1.3). It especially does no keepalive with the content server, which makes it inefficient (1 new connection proxy <-> server for each GET, even if your client uses keepalive).
Apache2 is supposed to do some keepalive, but this is not entirely true, since all http children (fork() model) don't share the connections. Better use squid, that does all that stuff.
