Guys and gals,

Background - I am trying to chain together two Apache servers (server1 
running Sol 9 Apache 2.0.47, server2 running Sol 9 Apache 2.0.55) for 
certain sites. Due to security restrictions within the customers network, 
I need to access the web interface of one of their appliances through the 
two apache proxy servers mentioned above. The scenario is:

Workstation -> Apache1.custnet.com -> Apache2.custnet.com -> 
Appliance.custnet.com

The appliance will accept the initial connection on port 80, then kick off 
a secure 443 session. I am able to use the following scenario 
successfully:

Workstation -> Apache2.custnet.com -> Appliance.custnet.com

>From what I can see in the error_log (LogLevel debug), for the second 
scenario the workstation is prompted to accept a secure connection and 
proceeds to login over a secure 443 session - the first scenario does not 
do this - it is as if the request for a secure connection is not being 
passed back down the chain.

Relevant Configuration (changed to protect the innocent):
Apache1.custnet.com
        (httpd.conf)
        ProxyRequests On
        <Proxy *>
                Order Deny, Allow
                Deny from all
                Allow from all
        </Proxy>
        ProxyRemote http://appliance1.custnet.com 
http://apache2.custnet.com

        Compiled in modules:
          core.c
          mod_access.c
          mod_auth.c
          mod_include.c

Apache2.custnet.com
        (httpd.conf)
        ProxyRequests On
                <Proxy *>
                Order Deny, Allow
                Deny from all
                Allow from all
        </Proxy>

        Compiled in modules:
          core.c
          mod_access.c

          mod_mime.c
          mod_status.c

          mod_negotiation.c
          mod_dir.c
          mod_imap.c
          mod_actions.c
          mod_userdir.c
          mod_alias.c
          mod_so.c

What am I missing - I tried to google this scenario but can only find 
chained http examples. Any direction would be helpful.
