Sure. Here's what I've come up with thus far:

Here's all four possible combinations of accessing exchange OWA. Options 
1,2,4 all authenticate and load properly via using IE. Option 3 fails 
IIS's auth challenge. This is all *without* SSL. Should {SetEnvIf 
User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown downgrade-1.0 
force-response-1.0} be set for the virual host (recommended for 
mod_ssl), IE will only understand the apache reverse proxy when first 
proxied through squid. ??? If not proxied first through squid, IE balks, 
fails to load the pages (won't even load IIS's auth challenge), spitting 
back it's generic "cannot find server" error. I've been trying to get 
this thing working now for weeks and have been dealing with the 
mod_proxy folks until just this AM when I determined that the above 
SetEnvIf flag was causing the problem. I'm currently attempting to 
figure out why IIS's auth challenge fails via the apache reverse proxy 
but succeeds when proxied first through squid. Nonetheless, put all this 
in with SSL (assuming you using the recommended above flag) and things 
are broken. Period.
