Apache as a local proxy server --> remote anonymous proxy

This is just something I'm curious about. I know it's possible to set up Apache as a proxy on a LAN and use SSH tunneling to secure LAN traffic.

My question is whether it would be possible to then "forward" web traffic from the Apache proxy to a remote anonymous proxy. I guess it would look something like this:

[LAN host] <===(SSH Tunnel)===> [Apache Proxy (local)] --------> [remote anon. proxy] -----> [remote web server(s)]

I don't really have any specific reason for wondering this, and whether it really seems necessary or not, I was just wondering if it's possible. I guess the part I'm not sure about is how to set up Apache to "forward" proxy requests to another proxy (if that's possible).
