This defines remote proxies to this proxy. match is either the name of a URL-scheme that the remote server supports, or a partial URL for which the remote server should be used, or * to indicate the server should be contacted for all requests. remote-server is a partial URL for the remote server. Syntax:

remote-server = scheme://hostname[:port]

scheme is effectively the protocol that should be used to communicate with the remote server; only http and https are supported by this module. When using https , the requests are forwarded through the remote proxy using the HTTP CONNECT method.

Example

ProxyRemote "http://goodguys.example.com/" "http://mirrorguys.example.com:8000"
ProxyRemote "*" "http://cleverproxy.localdomain"
ProxyRemote "ftp" "http://ftpproxy.mydomain:8080"

In the last example, the proxy will forward FTP requests, encapsulated as yet another HTTP proxy request, to another proxy which can handle them.

This option also supports reverse proxy configuration; a backend webserver can be embedded within a virtualhost URL space even if that server is hidden by another forward proxy.
