[plt-scheme] Proxying the PLT web server?

I have done such a setup.  The effort isn't in getting PLT to work, rather
it's in getting mod_proxy to work correctly.

You likely need to do some URL munging, and for that you'll also need
mod_proxy_html.

Frontend<http://schemecookbook.org/Cookbook/HttpsWebservering>

   mod_proxy_html <http://apache.webthing.com/mod_proxy_html/> - Home to
   mod_proxy_html that can be used for in page link translation

   mod_proxy as a reverse proxy

Also read up about selinux to ensure that your apache server can access
network...
