To the best of my knowledge Apache will only proxy HTTP and FTP.  It might
be possible to work something out with the CONNECT method, but that is
beyond my knowledge of mod_proxy.  In general RFB doesn't like proxies and
most solutions to using it with proxies are HTTP tunneling hacks (which
means the HTTP tunnel would have to be configured outside of your Apache
setup first).

Just to make double sure we understand each other, I would suggest you try
the evaluation version first before you buy it.
