Mailman url points to localhost after ProxyPass
To help Mailman work within the default OpenBSD httpd chroot, I have requests for /mailman/ doing a ProxyPass to apache2 running on localhost. This works great for everything except url's like /admin/ and /listinfo/. Everything below this works fine (e.g. /admin/foo).
So if I load http://www.dixongroup.net/mailman/admin/, it gives me results for lists on 127.0.0.1 instead of the hostname. But all of the lists themselves work fine. And list_lists reports everything correctly as you'd expect.
Has anyone overcome this? Obviously, the desired effect would be that Mailman uses HTTP_HOST. I've messed around with UseCanonicalName on both Apache instances but could not get the desired effect. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Mailman does use HTTP_HOST and falls back to SERVER_NAME if HTTP_HOST is not set in the environment. How are these set in the environment passed to the Mailman CGIs?
You can show all lists regardless of host by setting
VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW = Off
in mm_cfg.py.

I worked around this issue by adding /etc/hosts into the Apache-1.3 chroot and adding the desired hostnames to 127.0.0.1. I then pointed the ProxyPass to the host instead of 127.0.0.1. It works fine and I've seen no regressions on the rest of the sites sharing the same domain.
