Simplest way is to forget trying to get apache to do that for you, and just let SSH do it for you, seeing as you can SSH to that box ok. ssh -D 3128 <yourproxybox> and then setup firefox to use 127.0.0.1:3128 as a SOCKS proxy. The reason apache is probably not working is that it never uses that vhost for the request. Does it work if you don't use vhosts?
