Tom,

Thanks for that correction. I got a little confused.

That isn't what *ProxyPreserveHost* does. If ProxyPreserveHost is set
to true, then the proxied request will retain the same Host header as
the original request to the proxy. If it is not set, mod_proxy_http
will replace the originally requested host header with the host
specified in the ProxyPass line.

See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypreservehost
for more details.

Cheers

Tom
