We're doing that too --

    http://buildbot.SpamAssassin.org/
    http://bbmass.SpamAssassin.org/

One thing to watch out for is that versions of mod_proxy before Apache
2.2.0 seem to have a bug, whereby they'll attempt to buffer the chunked
output of build stages over-aggressively -- to the browser, it appears to
be hung, but in fact mod_proxy is simply waiting for the output to reach
EOF.  

Sadly, the server those two vhosts are on, is running Apache 2.0.52. ;)
This has been reported to mod_proxy, and fixed, we're just waiting
for ASF infrastructure to upgrade the Apache install on that server.
