Always lock down your mod_proxy

So, my server had been eating bandwidth for breakfast, and I finally found out why.  I was using apache’s mod_proxy to redirect incoming connections across the network, but that was being hijacked by some ad agencies and being used as a general use web proxy.  Hopefully I’ve got that taken care of now.  While I still see several incoming connections, they are no longer slowing down the network, so I’m assuming that my fix worked.
