What should be considered about the reverse proxy server?

[Jason Long <hack3rcon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
I launched a reverse proxy server by Apache with below configuration:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ProxyPreserveHost On
        ProxyPass / http://Server-IP/
        ProxyPassReverse / http://Server-IP/
</VirtualHost>

I have some questions:

1- the real work of a proxy server is just that lines?
2- The real configuration of the web server must be done on the another server? Consider below figure:

The Internet --> Reverse Proxy Server --> Apache Web Server

The SSL configuration and other Apache hardening and configuration must be done on the Apache Web Server and not the Reverse Proxy Server?

Please share your experiences.

Thank you.
