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.
