>Description:
A possibility to restrict access to a remote proxy is often needed,
when a company has an internet firewall running (apache = one of the intranet
servers) and wants to restrict the use of this firewall.

As I understand it, apache seems only to be able to restrict access to
it's own proxy. This means any other intranet webserver [NoProxy ...]
and any remote server [ProxyRemote] are sharing the same acl definition using
the <Directory proxy:*> directive.

A possibility to define a ACL for a Remote Proxy would be nice...

Tnx for listening
