This seems to be the best possibility after reading the Apache documentation. 

The machine in question is a web/mail host for a dozen or so sites,
hence the need for Usermin so that site owners can maintain their
sites remotely, but *must* be normal http access rather than port
20000 due to blocking restrictions imposed by many admins (and rightly
so!) these days.

mod_proxy might also solve the next problem I was expecting to face -
giving each virtual domain owner http:Vdomain.com/usermin/ access
without adding the folder to each document tree.

I haven't tested this yet but will post again if research/attempts fail me.

Thanks guys!
