The 'here' link is to http://www.beach-clothing.com:8080/where-to-buy/ while he wants it do be to http://www.beach-clothing.com/where-to-buy/
When the Front-End Apache (running on port 80) gets a request for http://www.beach-clothing.com/where-to-buy (notice the lack of trailing slash), it issues a 301 Moved Permanently to http://www.beach-clothing.com/where-to-buy/ (notice the added trailing slash). The Front-End Apache proxies this request to Back-End Apache running on 8080 which becomes http://www.beach-clothing.com:8080/where-to-buy/ and this is Cached by the Front-End Apache. The subsequent request for this URL gives http://www.beach-clothing.com:8080/where-to-buy/ from the Cache.
This is not as expected. Thus I feel that either 301 responses should not be proxied or they should not be Cached at all.
Thanks.
