Turn on FQDN lookups in your apache config file.

I'm not familiar with apache's URL re-writing
and the proxy statements. Considering that I see a blank white
web page when I visit toklas.org (no error message) I'd reduce
the situation to software minimums if possible. I'd temporarily
undo those things. It looks to me like apache is sucessfully
doing what it's been told to do, which is to give a blank page.
Maybe the blank page is part of the proxy or URL mishandling
in some way?

What's the purpose of the URL and proxy statements?
I need a cold beer.
