I tried this, with no luck.

The good part is that the proxy will be always reverse, so it is easy to accomplish only with mod_rewrite.

Presumably this other proxy is a forward proxy?  If it's a reverse

Use RewriteCond to check the custom header.

The trick here is to rewrite into different address spaces with the
relevant ProxyRemote settings.
