SunOS gorilla 5.6 Generic_105181-19 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-1
>Description:
With following configuration in apache's httpd.conf

ProxyPass /mirror       http://remote.server.com
ProxyPassReverse /mirror http://remote.server.com

Works fine as long no html pages contains 
URL links (http://remote.server.com/page.html) to it self on the remote server.

Then the web browser try to get http://remote.server.com/page.html instead of 
http://local.site.com/mirror/page.html
