Can SlimServer not bind to port 80 and then drop privileges?

Am I right in thinking that what would happen in the case of a 'reverse
proxy' is that someone calls a request for "http://foo.blah";, Apache
receives this and requests the page from "http://foo.blah:9000"; then
re-displays this to the original person under "http://foo.blah";. If
that's right, then that just seems to me to be putting unecessary
overhead into the system. In which case I think I'm better sticking
with the visible re-direct.

Actually like Beercan suggested, I could use iptables on just this IP
to move all port 80 traffic to port 9000, that would work wouldn't it?
