+Updated the reverse proxy documentation to highlight the homserver configuration that is needed to make Synapse aware that is is intentionally reverse proxied.

+## Homeserver Configuration
+
+The HTTP configuration will need to be updated for Synapse to correctly record 
+client IP addresses and generate redirect URLs while behind a reverse proxy. 
+
+In `homeserver.yaml` set `x_forwarded: true` in the port 8008 section and 
+consider setting `bind_addresses: ['127.0.0.1']` so that the server only
+listens to traffic on localhost. (Do not change `bind_addresses` to `127.0.0.1` 
+when using a containerized Synapse, as that will prevent it from responding
+to proxied traffic.)

-## Homeserver Configuration

-You will also want to set `bind_addresses: ['127.0.0.1']` and
-`x_forwarded: true` for port 8008 in `homeserver.yaml` to ensure that
-client IP addresses are recorded correctly.
-
-Having done so, you can then use `https://matrix.example.com` (instead
-of `https://matrix.example.com:8448`) as the "Custom server" when
-connecting to Synapse from a client.
