You talking about doing this to circumvent the mod_gzip restrictions?

I use ProxyPass with SSL for one of my internal servers on a 5.1.2 box.
Here are the two entries I have in my ProxyPass custom template. The first VirtualHost entry supports http and the second supports https.

ServerName myhost.mydomain.com
ProxyPass / http://myhost.mydomain.com/

ServerName myhost.mydomain.com
ProxyPass / http://myhost.mydomain.com/

Just a little info on my setup.
I have my SME Server configured for Server Only Mode. It sits behind a hardware firewall. The firewall forwards http and https traffic to the SME server and SME uses ProxyPass to send web requests to my Win NT, Win 2K and Solaris web servers.

I hope that helps.
