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";.

You're right. We're doing this to hide web services run on machine1:9080 in our lan behind machine2:80 in the DMZ.

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.

...or the cheap frameset.
