Ah. The instructions in the FAQ have been updated to reflect the
settings for the 2.6Stable release series (looks like 2.6 is included in
FC6). An update is recommended, especially for reverse proxy setups.
The 2.5Stable releases are capable of reverse proxy setups, but the
configuration thereof where not as straight forward.

If you don't wish to upgrade, instructions can be found on the old FAQ
(which seems to only be available via the Internet Archive Wayback
Machine

or in the mailing list archives.
