Proxy && Absolute URIs

Is it possible to interpret URIs as the come from the 'ProxyPass'ed server?

The application in question creates absolute URIs of it's content (all of
which are dynamically generated and currently don't offer any
configuration.)

Unfortunately no.

Then you have only three possibilities: persuade the application to
generate URI that can be saw as coming from the proxy (like
setting his hostname to <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.myproxy" target="_blank">www.myproxy</a> or something), hacking the
application to have relative URI, hacking the mod_proxy and have the
absolute uri rewritten.
