ProxyPass turns on reverse proxy behaviour. Adding a ReverseProxy
directive will just confuse things, because you would need to switch on
two directives where previously there was one.
I don't see how reverse proxy functionality could be turned on by
mistake.
Remember that forward proxy is a specific "mode" - ie "let the webserver
handle requests that aren't local". Reverse proxy switches in content
into a subtree of the existing server - there is no special "mode" here,
or operation that is any different from normal webserver operation.
