Hi there. I have been experimenting with the ProxyBlock directive when running Apache 2.2 as a forward proxy. When Apache is the final proxy in a chain, everything works as expected. However if I configure Apache to chain requests to another proxy (using ProxyRemote * http://next_proxy.com:8080), then the ProxyBlock directive ceases to operate correctly. Under these circumstances ProxyBlock * works as expected but all other forms appear to have no effect, although observed DNS requests during Apache startup seem to indicate the directive is recognised. ProxyBlock is defined in the context of a virtual host. I have found a couple of posts that talk about the interaction of ProxyRemote and ProxyBlock in relation to address resolution, but these date back to Apache 2.0 & 2.1 (2005). Can anyone explain the observed behaviour?
