Thank you very much Tom! It was very simple, but I hadn't been using the proxy_http module. It was slightly complicated when it came to authentication - the http://home.domain.com site has digest authentication, and I assumed the location would inherit this, but it gave a permission error. As soon as I entered the Auth* directives into the location section as well as its parent, this has been fine.
