  You can't just invent a configuration and have it work.  The
"proxy.conf" file describes where realms are defined.  They work there,
and nowhere else.

  No.

  That's like saying the "SQL" module implements an SQL database,
because it's called "SQL".

  No, it doesn't work like that.  The realm definition is in proxy.conf.
 The "realm" module uses the realm definitions to process packets which
contain realms.

  They are global.

  Source code modifications.
