It seems to me you have read neither the docs for ProxyPassReverse
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypassreverse
nor the standard tutorial
http://www.apachetutor.org/admin/reverseproxies
They'll both tell you that you need mod_proxy_html (a third-party
module) if you want links inside the html pages rewritten.
