Additional info:



We could allow apache to connect to apache ports by default, if that would satisfy this.

No, when mod_proxy is used as a generic HTTP proxy (a not entirely uncommon configuration) it needs to be able to connect to any remote port on any remote address.

Defaulting apache to can_network_connect_any=1 could allow a subverted apache web server to be setup as a spammer, or a launch site for further attacks. So I don't think this would be a good idea.
