That's what the ProxyRequests directive does.  Giving it a silly name

Bill Wrowe is a fan of the last idea.  I'm neutral about making it the
default, but I think it would be good to make it configurable.

You should be specific here, however.  We are talking about a directive
that would allow *outgoing* proxy connections only on specific ports.  For
example
AllowForwardProxy 80 8080 8888
