Can I put an Apache proxy in front of an XML-RPC server?

[Skip Montanaro <skip@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have an XML-RPC server I would like to make available to a
limited number of hosts on the Internet.  It seems to me that
Apache's proxy capability would be a reasonable way to achieve
this.  I'm having a little problem setting this up however.

Here's my proxy setup (Apache 1.3.33 on a CentOS 4.5 system):

        ProxyRequests Off 
 
        ProxyPass /sbrpc/ http://localhost:8001/sbrpc/ 
        ProxyPassReverse /sbrpc/ http://localhost:8001/sbrpc/ 
        ProxyPass /sbmanage/ http://localhost:8880/ 
        ProxyPassReverse /sbmanage/ http://localhost:8880/ 
 
        <Directory proxy:/sbrpc> 
          Order Deny,Allow 
          Deny from all 
          Allow from host1,host2 
        </Directory> 
 
        <Directory proxy:/sbmanage> 
          Order Deny,Allow 
          Deny from all 
          Allow from host2 
        </Directory> 

This application has both a regular web server (port 8880,
the /sbmanage path) and an XML-RPC server (port 8001, the
/sbrpc path).  The proxy works just fine for the regular
web server, but returns 404 for all requests.  I've
verified that the XML-RPC server is up and operating.

I've never used Apache's mod_proxy before, so I can
see how I might be missing something basic.  What would
that something be?

Thanks,
