Yes, apache can sort this out itself. If anything else accepts port 80
you'd have to also have a special case to redirect even the local host,
perhaps to apache on an alternate port.
Great...This is what I have in Squid now. What is the equivalent in Apache?
httpd_accel_port 80
httpd_accel_host virtual
httpd_accel_with_proxy on
httpd_accel_uses_host_header on
The proxy documentation is here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_proxy.html
But you basically just need something like this as a vhost.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName only_one_name_can_go_here
ServerAlias this_can_be_a_list
ProxyPass / http://backend.example.com/
ProxyPassReverse / http://backend.example.com/
### other options can go here...
</VirtualHost>
