better yet, if you're not using apache's proxying capability(*) then DON'T
ENABLE THE PROXY MODULE.

comment out the LoadModule line for libproxy in your httpd.conf, like so:

# LoadModule proxy_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/libproxy.so
 


(*) which is a pretty stupid capability, anyway.  squid is a much better tool
for that job.
