use of ProxyVia Block

In Ramon's blog, he uses "ProxyVia Block" in his virtual server. Can you
tell me why this is so? Is it needed? Speeds up bits? What? (the apache
doc didn't give me a good practical understanding)

Thanks!

I can't think of any special reason for it, we don't use it here, but
you most certainly want to have "ProxyPreserveHost On",

Cheers!

I think the "ProxyVia Block" does not hurt. I don't fully understand
why, but it seems to avoids some configuration traps where somebody
could misuse your server as an anonymous proxy.
