>Description:
We want to map some remote web-servers CGI's URL into the URL address-space of
a local web-server.
It seems to me, that using the mod_proxy module and the ProxyRemote
configuration statement is the best way to achieve this.

Unfortunately, the mod_proxy module does not turn off buffering despite
the ``nph-'' prefix to the remote CGI URL.

See above.

Haven't looked at the internal apache architecture yet :-(

Maybe, there is another solution to our problem by using
another module of apache. But I don't know any other solution so far.

Any suggestions are welcome. Maybe this should go into the FAQ %3
