more apache info

[Gregory Nowak]

As far as I know, I don't have apache's proxy service turned on (or at least, I didn't turn it on knowingly). How would I find out if it's turned on, and how would I turn it off. There is probably something I need to put or take out of httpd.conf? Thanks a lot for your help.
