Apache reverse proxy

Hello group!

I would appreciate if someone could help me. I use a reverse proxy on
Apache. The most simple "case" works like a charm:

For example:

ProxyPass /goProxy/ http://unix.example.com/
ProxyPassReverse /goProxy/ http://unix.example.com/

but when I want to do this:

ProxyPass /goProxy/ http://unix.example.com/script.php?value=1
ProxyPassReverse /goProxy/ http://unix.example.com/script.php?value=1

I get an error 404. Now, I know that I have to use mod_rewrite and I
tried that but with partial results. It does what I want but with
unwanted effect - when I go to URL of a server that "proxies" request to
the backend server (www.example.com), it doesn't show its index.html but
it still proxies requests to the backend server. I have been trying this
for two days. I am a beginner concernig mod_rewrite and I am begging if
anyone could give me some general mod_rewrite rules for the example
mentioned above.

Thank you in advance!

It's not clear to me exactly what your problem is, but I would
recommend reading the web page below. I managed to implement a
rather complex reverse proxy with the information provided here.

Good Luck,
