Using CentOS 5.4 version of apache httpd-2.2.3-31.el5. I have several

online, it is an internal server.
    

So Apache is a reverse proxy?

  

Reviewing the messages I found Logwatch who have tried to use my server 
through the same mod_proxy to connect to other servers or sites.
    

Disable forward proxying (ProxyRequests off), you don't need  that for a reverse proxy. Also use the firewall to disable all outgoing traffic that you don't need.

Hi

I only use mod_proxy for one virtualhost, this is my config:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName www.home.com
        ServerAdmin admin@xxxxxxxx
        CustomLog logs/home-access.log combined
        ProxyRequests Off

        <Proxy *>
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
        </Proxy>

        ProxyPass / http://internalserver.home.com:80/
        ProxyPassReverse / http://internalserver.home.com:80/

        <Location />
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
        </Location>
</VirtualHost>


Thanks
