I got this working finally with the following two additions to httpd.conf:
ProxyPass /
http://aserver.yoursite.com/
ProxyPassReverse /
http://aserver.yoursite.com/
Typing the name of the box this apache is running on into a browser gives me the first page of the webserver on aserver.yoursite.com
say this box is conan
type
http://conan OR
https://conan into internet explorer gives
"hi this is the first web
page of aserver.yoursite.com"
so it works for https and http!!!! AWESOME
I spent so much time fiddling with squid and apache I wana scream!
I then ran a chkconfig --level 345 httpd on into my redhat ent 4 linux shell to make apache 2 restart upon reboot
BULLETPROOF!
AWESOME
