You need to establish a trust between the reverse proxy and web server to
allow forwarding of the login details. See the login option to
the cache_peer directive.

Should work in cache_peer_access I think, but only if first evaluated in
http_access. cache_peer_access can not request authentication, only
process already authenticated requests.
