class ReverseProxyResource(resource.Resource):
    """Resource that renders the results gotten from another server

    Put this resource in the tree to cause everything below it to be relayed
    to a different server.
    """

I'm sorry, you don't understand it correctly.  mod_proxy which passes
requests from apache to another server such as twisted is a reverse
proxy, ReverseProxyResource is an implementation of a reverse proxy for
twisted so that it can forward requests to another server.  It takes a
host, a port, and a path and it proxies all requests for that resource
to the server specified by the host, port, and path.

for example, ReverseProxyResource('google.com', 80, '/') will forward
requests to http://google.com:80/.
