Status Update: I think I'm close. Currently I got the slave to compile,
pass all tests, and run with r22631 and HTTP/HTTPS proxying going on with
RHEL4, httpd-2.2.3, apr-(util)-1.2.7, neon-0.26.1, anything else I need to
specifiy?

I'm now trying to get the svnsync to work in such a situation and running
into a bit of a snag. When I try to run the "svnsync sync
https://dsum/repos/test" command on the slave (dsum), it asks me for
username/password on the slave server and then on the master server and
then it says:

svnsync: DAV request failed; it's possible that the
repository's pre-revprop-change hook either failed or is non-existent
svnsync: At least one property change failed; repository is unchanged

I'm thinking that the svnsync command is now also getting re-directed to
the master in a kind of "loop" where when I try
to svnsync the slave, it is now getting re-directed to the master to try
to run the svnsync there.

I'm hoping I can just tweak my configuration on the master or slave and
fix this but am uncertain how to proceed.

Any thoughts/suggestions/pointers?

Thanks!
