Yes, that' s true iff you need Apache just for that cozzy feelin'
But often there's much more built into the Apache server, like
Authentication, Authorisation, session handling etc. that needs to be
shared with other Apache modules. Sometimes it's possible to tweak
Apache in order to use mod_proxy but often that isn't the case.
