I used the following tutorial to do it:
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/jmeter_proxy_step_by_step.pdf
A few questions still in my mind, hopefully I'll have an answer soon:
- Why was it necessary to specify 'jakarta.apache.org' in the HTTP Request Defaults section? Does this make sure that only traffic to/from this server is recorded?
- What is the aggregate report doing? What do the numbers mean exactly?

Answers to questions:
1) The server is specified in HTTP Request Defaults so that you don't have to set the server information for each HTTP Request component. Since a proxy is being used, the HTTP Request components should be made automatically, but maybe this is to just speed things up? I wonder if proxying works w/o setting HTTP Request Defaults

2) Most of the Aggregate Report details how long it took for the responses from the server to arrive.
