Having a read through http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html
and the "guide" here (http://www.apachetutor.org/admin/reverseproxies), it
seems that these implementations are expecting this:

http://someserver.domain.tld/app1 -> server1's http
http://someserver.domain.tld/app2 -> another http server

I'm looking for a way to decide where the proxy forwards traffic based on
the someserver.domain.tld bit.

Am I reading the documentation wrong?

Cheers.
Grant. :)
