Can TWiki URLs be made to suck less?

<VirtualHost *:80>

  ServerName forum.venix.com
  ProxyRequests Off
  ProxyPass / http://localhost:9080/
  ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:9080/

</VirtualHost>
<IfModule mod_cache.c>
  CacheDisable forum.venix.com
</IfModule>

This is my apache 2.0 config to use apache as a proxy for a different
web service (snakelets).  Does Twiki run separately or is it running
within Apache?

This sample config works when I have the other process running and
listening at 9080, though usually it is off.  I have not set it up as a
regular service.
