I can't get this to work. Are you sure RequestHeader changes the
headers of the request sent to the backend server?
The doc (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_headers.html#requestheader)
says "The header is modified just before the content handler is run",
which I understand as this changes the incoming request before it is
handled. But I tried to change the outgoing request to the backend
apache server serving the content.
Here's my config:

   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteRule ^(.*) http://10.12.12.5$1 [L,P,E=hostname:%{HTTP_HOST}]
   RequestHeader set Host %{hostname}e
   ProxyPassReverse / http://10.12.12.5/

Let me know if I missed something!

Thanks

Raph
