Part of the problem is that you are rewriting HTML. Messy isn't it?
Now do it again, but don't bother with rewriting the HTML.

Remove all the Proxy directives from the main apache server config, it
makes no sense when you then define vhosts later to use.

Define a vhost for each site you wish to proxy. Set it up like so:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName proxyaip
ProxyRequests Off
DocumentRoot /var/empty

<Directory /var/empty>

Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

<Location />
ProxyPass http://aip.com/
ProxyPassReverse http://aip.com/
</Location>

</VirtualHost>

Accessing http://proxyaip/ should now be just like accessing
http://aip.com/ . If you want to proxy more sites, define more vhosts.

Cheers

Tom
