 I think you misunderstood my bug report. I am not trying to run apache
 on another port. I am trying to access a *different* server running on
 the same machine as apache. I have apache running on port 80, and my
 custom server running on port 8080. I am trying to get to the url
 http://host:8080 through the proxy, but apache returns me its page
 without ever connecting to port 8080.
 
 My httpd.conf is attached to the end of this message, but I don't
 think it's relevant to this problem.

 # Server-pool size regulation.  Rather than making you guess how many
 # server processes you need, Apache dynamically adapts to the load it
 # sees --- that is, it tries to maintain enough server processes to
 # handle the current load, plus a few spare servers to handle transient
 # load spikes (e.g., multiple simultaneous requests from a single
 # Netscape browser).
 
 # It does this by periodically checking how many servers are waiting
 # for a request.  If there are fewer than MinSpareServers, it creates
 # a new spare.  If there are more than MaxSpareServers, some of the
 # spares die off.  These values are probably OK for most sites ---

 # Unix with it as it spirals down...
