correct.

When a user goes to <http://www.somedomain.com/SoMeDir> there is no
need for a reverse proxy. mod_speling returns a Redirect because it
finds the local dummy directory "somedir" in the local "htdocs"
directory.

When the browser follows the redirect, i.e. when it sends a new request
to <http://www.somedomain.com/somedir>, your existent reverse proxy
configuration entry is regarded, thus the server does not even look
at/into the dummy directory now.

I.e. the server will never serve any contents of the dummy directory.

(It does not even matter whether "somedir" is a directory or a file or
a symlink or something else: only the pure entry of the name in the
htdocs directory is regarded by mod_speling. I myself use "ln -sf
Redirect .../htdocs/somedir" to create a dangling symbolic link for
this purpose.)
