Tutorial pretty much describes how our production server is setup except 
that using jsp instead of cgi.  The jsp means avoiding the apache issues.

However, since you have written a suitable proxy.cgi, then you may as

No, sorry. My apache 2.2 has cgi-bin at same level as the bin directory 
and even includes a blind proxy proxy.cgi that you could hack for your 
purposes.
