Synopsis

                     ProxyRemote 
                     match 
                     remote-server
                  

[server config or within <VirtualHost>]

This directive specifies a remote proxy that should be used under user-definable conditions. The match parameter is either a URL scheme (http, ftp, etc.) that the server supports, or a partial URL which should be redirected to the remote proxy. The remote-server parameter should be organized as a fully qualified URL, as shown below:

ProxyRemote ftp http://ftpproxy.oreilly.com:8080
ProxyRemote * http://handle.everything.oreilly.com:9001

Currently, http is the only scheme supported for the remote-server parameter.
