I'm not sure I understand this one... does anyone have the history to
elaborate?

Currently in our environment we have reverse proxies connecting to client-cert-authenticated backends, and one of the things we can't do is this:

<VirtualHost ...>
  <Location /foo>
     ProxyPass https://some.where.back.there/foo
     ...
  </Location>
  <Location /bar>
     ProxyPass https://some.where.different/bar
     ...
  </Location>
</VirtualHost>

where "https://some.where.back.there"; and "https:// some.where.different" are authenticated by separate sets of client certs and separate CA certs.

We do some nasty php to get around this, it isn't ideal. It is nice to have though, and shouldn't block 2.4.

Graham
