Re: Apache Reverse proxying - WAS Introduction and first
questions
John,
Thanks for that.
I'd been, incorrectly, assuming that the fact the Proxyequests on was
within
a specific VirtualHost context rather than global, it would only allow
proxying of the named server specified within that directive.
You are absolutely right, though - it DOES allow arbitrary forward
proxying...
I will set ProxyRequests Off as you suggest.
Regards,
Mark

better to specifically disable them using ProxyRequests Off.
