            HeaderName=via
                             

     represents two property strings:

     ReverseProxyMappings/ProxyConfigurations/Proxy1/ HttpProxyPort

     ReverseProxyMappings/ProxyConfigurations/Proxy1/Header/ HeaderName ,

     where HttpProxyPort and HeaderName represent the property keys of the nested properties.
