Hi there.
We're having problems with a reverse proxy that runs from a windows 2003 /iis
server to a w2k8/iis (dmz to internal server).
Its running on Apache 2.2.3 using the following module setup

The basic error is a 502 bad gateway one, that always goes away after several
refereshes on the browser.
I've been through the logs and setup with a fine toothcomb, have added in a few
bits missed - the dll loads mainly, and the BadHeader ignore.
However, beyond a slight mprovement in the performance, nothing is better than
it was before!
Making slight changes to the iis server on the end seems to make the site load
fine for a short time.
the error log is not being filled at present, so I'm unsure where the 502
errors are being recorded
