Hi Mitchell.

the Proxy code was modified to work with the Apache2.0 codebase about 3 
years ago (which is when this mailing list started)

There have been some changes to the proxy codebase in 2.1/2.2 to add 
some new features such as ajp (which is a alternative method to 
communicate with tomcat servers), and load balancing support so that 
different load balancing algorithms could be written and used with the 
proxy codebase.

regards
Ian
