this is the C code I use to make a request into a reverse-proxied one. (slightly edited)
    if (isDynamic == 1)  {
             const char *szApp= "http://foobar";

             r->filename = apr_pstrcat(r->pool,"proxy:",  szApp, r->uri, NULL);
             r->handler = "proxy-server";
             r->proxyreq = PROXYREQ_REVERSE;
             r->filename=pNewURL;
     }
and it works ok for me.
