Hi again, After a bit more research I guess I can see why -- since as you show in the instructions you also intend to serve static content via the proxy server and this requires using mod_rewrite anyway that you chose to do the reverse proxy part also using mod_rewrite. Sorry for being confused, I have seen before configurations with mod_proxy and mod_rewrite directives together doing the same thing I was wondering why! :)
