Well, In our case, the server doesn't have any mod_perl apps. Only uses
mod_perl (Or perl sections, i don't really know if it's the same....) to
dinamicaly generate the virtualhosts.
That apache2 acts as a reverse proxy to controls several httpd servers
in the private lan with the mod_perl apps. It's a wonderfull option, if
you need it. Works really well, and adds some more features as caching,
warning pages while servers ar stopped or in maintenance.... And also
the most important part, the internal servers always use high bandwith
connections, so the session blocking time is lower.
