In earlier versions of apache (like what I was using), I needed load a few extra modules, and a small script to use the proxypassreverse properly. I can't remember what it was.The small script is the one described which sets the IP properly. The module is mod_proxy, and before Apache 1.3.24, you also need a custom mod_proxy_add_forward.c file, but ths is now part of Apache.

Also, security. Doesn't the proxy server need to set up to only accept requests from the localhost proxy? Just curious. I know a lot has changed in the past year or two.
No, it isn't really a security risk to be open, as users are connecting to it anyway. It would be a good idea to lock it down, but not essential.
Cheers,
