I think, like too much of Apple's documentation, the explanation is a little too vague.
Mac OS X 10.7.5, Office 2011 for Mac A user has a document with many hyperlinks. Some work, some complain about 'Cannot locate the Internet server or proxy server'.I looked at her default browser and made sure it had no proxies set. MacOS Server, formerly named Mac OS X Server and OS X Server, is a discontinued, stand-alone server operating system by Apple Inc.It is also the name of its replacement software, an operating system addition, for macOS that provides additional server programs along with management and administration tools for iOS and macOS. Prior to version 10.7 (Lion), Mac OS X Server was a separate but.
Apache's proxy service runs within the context of a virtual host (what Apple calls a 'site'), and their documentation kind of assumes that you're hosting a regular site on your server as well as acting as a proxy for your network.

In general you don't want to expose your proxy to the outside world (only intenal clients should be permitted to use the proxy) and if you're running a public site (e.g. www.yourdomain.com) on your server then you really don't want to enable the proxy there. For that reason Apple are suggesting you create another site/virtual host that has the proxy server enabled.
If you want more fine-grained access control or better separation from other web services there are other caching proxy servers that you might consider instead of Apache. Squid is one of the better-known ones.
