I can't speak for mod_proxy, but using mod_rewrite won't work.
Using mod_rewrite literally tells the web browser to rewrite the requested
URL and ask for it...meaning that he'd point at http://some.domain.com,
and apache would tell the browser to resend the request, but this time to
http://some.domain.com:10000.
Assigning a different port to webmin, or port redirection via NAT would
seem to be his only options.
