<example>
-RewriteRule (.*)\.(jpg|gif|png) http://images.example.com$1.$2 [P]

+<p>Take care when constructing the target URL of the rule, considering
+the security impact from allowing the client influence over the set of
+URLs to which your server will act as a proxy. Ensure that the scheme
+and hostname part of the URL is either fixed, or does not allow the
+client undue influence.</p>

<p>Note: <module>mod_proxy</module> must be enabled in order
to use this flag.</p>
