Hm, the question is is what that actually means. For a reverse proxy 
being effective, it has to have caching or at least buffering 
capabilities. AFAIK there is at least no caching (without special other 
modules that is) in the apache available. So I know reverse proxying 
done using Squid or similar web-caches.

Technically, mod_proxy does a very similar thing of course. But IMHO the 
term "reverse proxying" isn't justified there - it doesn't do any caching.
