You must turn ProxyRequests on for your server to become a a general-purpose-all-of-the-internet proxy server.
For ProxyPass to work you do not have to turn ProxyRequest on. Indeed in most cases when front-ending Zope with Apache you do not want to do that. And that instructions didn't say to do that.
As a generalisation, using mod_proxy is probably less resource demanding that using mod_rewrite and an entirely sensible choice in many cases.
D'oh! Of course, you're right. Whoever set it up in our instance included the ProxyRequests On ( presumably they just uncommented the whole default section and modified for Zope - I've checked some other default httpd.conf files, and the ProxyRequests On is present and commented out ) Sorry 'bout the disinformation.
