I wouldn't even load the module unless you need the functionality 
FWIW!  From a security perspective, I'd personally only enable what 
modules you actually need and use.

Your log indicates an http response code of 200 -- which means no 
error conditions.  It looks to me like the proxy request was probably 
a success.  If you're seeing a ton of these, I'd work on the 
assumption that your box is being used as an http proxy.

Never say never, but I don't think so.  It is possible that your copy 
of apache is using another httpd.conf file than the one that you're 
looking at?  Perhaps you've enabled ProxyRequests on a virtual host 
basis?  Those are the first 2 thoughts that pop into my head.
