How to have Newznab behind a Apache reverse proxy

I spent a considerable amount of time trying to figure out how to get Newznab behind a Apache reverse proxy. Unlike SABnzbd, Sickbeard, CouchPotato and Headphones there was no web_root, url_base or http_root for Newznab to use with a reverse proxy. Just with my luck too, there is very little documentation available online on this subject.
