Re: ProxyAllow addition to mod_proxy

Hi Rob.
1. I see some benefit, and I would actually prefer to see a 
'proxyallow' in the default configuration

2. mail the output of  "cvs diff -u" to this mailing list with a 
subject line [PATCH] ...
    is the acceptable format for the change. If the change is a major 
one you might need to
    fill in a form saying it is yours.. (I'll double check on that)
