I'd say you have it almost 100% correct. The portion that's off is your
step 2. In my reverse-proxy set-ups, I never use mod_proxy's
directives. I always use mod_rewrite, since I'm almost always in a
situation where I need to pass additional information from the
front-side to the back-side of the proxy. Every time I've tried to do
this, using ProxyPass to handle the proxy work, it's always executed in
the wrong order, so now I just use the [P] flag in a RewriteRule.

Good morning Brian,
thanks for your reply. Did I understand your explanation correctly?
1. Request comes in
2. Request is not considered as proxy request and hence initially
not handled by mod_proxy
3. Request is caught by mod_rewrite
4. mod_rewrite parses the headers, retrieves the values in question
by regex and stores them in environment variables
5. mod_headers modifies the headers upon the env-vars
6. Apache reverse proxies the request with the modified headers to
the static upstream server through mod_write and the bottom
RewriteRule
Thank you,
Alexander
