title: Do I need to use ProxyPassReverse if I'm using mod rewrite?
body: <p>I am using mod rewrite to mask the context root of my application. For example, </p>
  
  <pre><code>RewriteRule ^/directory/(.*) balancer://appcluster/directory/$1 [P]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The appcluster looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Proxy balancer://appcluster&gt;
  BalancerMember http://localhost:8080/App route=app_01 keepalive=On loadfactor=1 ttl=300 min=3 smax=5 max=15
  
  ProxySet lbmethod=byrequests stickysession=JSESSIONID|jsessionid timeout=120 nofailover=On
  &lt;/Proxy&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Do I need to use <code>ProxyPassReverse</code> at all? I used to use it because my old webserver code looked like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ProxyPass /App balancer://appcluster lbmethod=byrequests stickysession=JSESSIONID|jsessionid timeout=120 nofailover=On
  
  ProxyPassReverse /App http://localhost:9013/App
  </code></pre>
