Another option, though potentially somewhat political, is to hijack the domain name of the backend server. For example, change backend.mydomain.com to backend_a.mydomain.com and have all urls on this site be FQ urls http://backend.mydomain.com/images/foo.jpg. Repoint the backend.mydomain.com name to proxy.mydomain.com. Set up a mod_rewrite rule such that http://backend.mydomain.com/images/foo.jpg rewrites to http://proxy.mydomain.com/backend/images/foo.jpg. Then proxy /backend to http://backend_a.mydomain.com

Political because someone's gotta give up their name. Ugly, yes. A mess, yes again. Process intensive? Without doubt. Sometimes there are no easy answers.

BTW, I've been looking for a solution to this problem myself. Shame you can't do it from within mod_proxy.
