When I was researching reverse proxies for work a couple years ago,
the general consensus was that apache/mod_rewrite was more complicated
to configure and more resource intensive than squid, which was in turn
more complicated than pound.  I'm not sure what functionality, if any,
apache provides over squid for reverse proxy.

Just something to keep in mind.
