I had ProxyRequests "on" as well. I thought it was necessary for
for my ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse rules. My apache forwards
requests for http://www.firman.us to the Zope Zserver which is
running on port 8080. After doing some reading I found that:

"ProxyRequests directive: This allows or prevents Apache
from functioning as a forward proxy server. Setting ProxyRequests to 'off'
does not disable use of the ProxyPass directive. Warning: Do not
enable proxying until you have secured your server. Open proxy servers are
dangerous both to your network and to the Internet at large."

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxyrequests

So I turned off the ProxyPass and all is well.
Glad this discussion came up.
