Bug 29404 - Allow definition of source address of outgoing connections from mod_proxy

"Allow definition of source address of outgoing connections from
mod_proxy."   There was a patch added to this ticket.
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29404

What is preventing this patch from being merged into the trunk? I'd be happy
to test it once it's committed.  I ran into this issue recently out in the
wild. It's a common feature on other proxy applications.

I just tested this in httpd-2.3.11-beta.  I set up two vhosts each using
ProxyPass and added a corresponding ProxySourceAddress for each.  I
tcpdump'd the requests and they both showed the source addresses correctly
from each vhost. Many thanks to all involved in the patch and committing it.

It seems we have users asking nicely - this crossed my path just a few
days ago, and again today.

The 2.2 patch ports pretty-much as-is to trunk.
I've committed it in r1034916.
Documentation TBD.

Feedback welcome from Deanna and anyone else with a use for this feature.

Looking at it now, the latest patch is for v2.2 rather than trunk. It  
would need to go to trunk first before being considered for v2.2.
