It would help if you post both the piece of httpd.conf
that has your Proxy* directives on your light server,
as well as the <VirtualHost>...</VirtualHost> block from the
heavy server's config file.
Otherwise you could try running
% tcpdump -i eth0 -l -s 1500 -w - port 80 or port 8080 | strings > /tmp/http
(the flags above probably need adjustment)
on your server to examine the http headers and see where the cookies get
dropped. Pay attention to the "Host" and "Cookie" lines.
