So from this test network a connection towards my corp. intranet is analogy with some body from corp. LAN accessing internet. So I do need a forward proxy. Beside I'm simulating a real world scenario, of which they will be connected to forward proxy. >> it returns HTTP >> 403 as it requires NTLM authentication.

I meant I don't want the client to request http::/myProxy/bla/bla (as how reverse proxy works in my understanding, please correct me if I'm wrong), but I want the client to request http://corpLAN/bla/bla via 'myProxy' (hence forward proxy), just like the real world scenario. Or in other word, what is the consequences if I configure my web browser client to use forward proxy, but then I configure the apache proxy as reverse proxy? Many thanks in advance man! Cheers //Edo
