--- Comment #4 from Rich Bowen <[email protected]> ---
Fixed in trunk (r1933559) and 2.4 (r1933560).

Added a warning to ProxyPassMatch explaining that when the target URL contains
backreferences (\$1, \$2, etc.), each request produces a different resolved URL
that won't match the worker created by the directive. This causes requests to
fall through to the default reverse proxy worker, which does not reuse
connections or cache DNS lookups. Includes a workaround: define an explicit
worker via ProxyPass for the backend, then use ProxyPassMatch for URL mapping.

See also Bug 43513 for the underlying code issue.

Thanks for the report, Eric.
