I had to modify this somewhat (for starters, even if EVERYTHING is
getting transparently proxied, it turns out it's still necessary to use
a <Location /> to authorize browsers to access / so that it can be
redirected), but with relatively little trial and error I did indeed get
this working, at least for HTTP.  HTTPS isn't working yet; if I add a
second section for VirtualHost www.bar.net:443, Apache2 complains at
load time but the HTTPS proxy doesn't work.
