rnd:// for reverse proxy

[Matt Schillinger <ms...@vss.fsi.com>]

Hello,

I have followed the guidelines set by the URL Rewriting Guide, and the
reverse proxy works for the most part, but the rnd:/path/to/file is not
randomly pulling a hostname.. it always pulls the first entry..

is this the correct assumption of how rnd works?  Included is my

/usr/apache/conf/httpd.conf

and 

/usr/apache/conf/rproxy.conf
