Reverse Proxying OWA

i know you have received a lot of mail regarding reverse proxying OWA, i =
have read all these and still have no luck, so i come to you, the experts

i set up a reverse proxy on one machine that is made to proxy multiple ho=
sts, therefore each host is contained in a virtual host, the one for exch=
ange is on port 443 (to allow https access to be proxied)

if i open a connection directly to my exchange server at https://exchange=
ip/exchange/

i am presented with a login prompt

when i open a connection to the reverse proxy with
https://revproxyip/exchange/

i am given an error reading=20
"The connection to revproxyip has unexpectedly terminated" in firefox (ie=
 simply gives me a 404 error page)

the exchange server is not using NTLM authentication because of problems =
with proxying that

the conf file for the 443 virtual host is contained below



<VirtualHost *:443>
