Yes, your configuration is not right - you are configuring a reverse
proxy, but then you enable forward proxy. This is *not right*, you
have configured an open forward proxy.

Make 100% sure that you have "ProxyRequests off" when you are
configuring a reverse proxy; this forces all forward proxy behaviour
off.

In your "catch all" vhost, you will see any request made to your
server for a hostname not configured on your server - free traffic!
The common thing to do is to redirect people from your catch all host
to an interesting vhost

So:

ProxyRequests off # We are not a forward proxy

<VirtualHost *:80>
   # the catch all vhost
   Redirect permanent / http://some-where-interesting.com/
</VirtualHost>

Cheers
