Apache and Komanche go to the SeaSide

I've installed SeaSide on xpdeveloper. It's running SmallWiki2, which I think is interesting, although still in early stages. I'm also thinking of installing the SmallBlog?, and moving my blog there. Since it's not strictly XP. Apache is still "Front Of House" i.e. the Komanche web server isn't running on port 80, or indeed any exposed port on our firewall.

There are a lot of names you might not have heard of here, so I'll explain.

1. Web requests enter through my firewall router on port 80 and go to port 80 on OkChicken.
2. Apache is running on port 80 on the server, and will route requests to /seaside/ to port 9090 on the same machine.
3. Komanche (running in Squeak) is listening on TCP port 9090
4. SeaSide is registered to handle requests beyond the /seaside URI
5. SmallWiki2 is a SeaSide web application

Here's the snip for the apache virtual server entry in httpd.conf. Obviously I also enabled mod_proxy (i.e. uncomment it at the top of httpd.conf)

        ProxyRequests Off
        ProxyPass /seaside/ https://xpdeveloper.com:9090/seaside/
        ProxyPassReverse /seaside/ https://xpdeveloper.com:9090/seaside/
