Ok, I see this now, but only after reading the above paragraph three times and the code a few times more. This is a special edge case that goes against the typical behaviour of all the other directives in the server, and as a result will confuse the life out of any admin who hasn't seen this before. The documentation at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypassinherit needs to define two things: - An accurate list of the exact directives affected by this directive. "ProxyPass Balancers and Workers" is not accurate enough. - An accurate description of the "issues and inconsistent behaviour" that the admin is likely to experience if they don't turn this directive off. The admin is probably going to find this directive after searching for a problem in google, we need to make sure that google search is going to lead directly to this directive. Regards, Graham --
