Yes, ProxyPass is wonderful.

The main thing I see different is if you need to obtain REMOTE_ADDR.  If
you use  ProxyPass, REMOTE_ADDR is the address of the proxy server, not
the address of the client machine.

I have not checked to see if it also affects "domains" in acl_users for
standard authentication.  But that could be a consideration as well. 
Can anyone check this?
