Reverse Proxy, sometimes referred to as Web Acceleration, is the capability
of taking an address outside your firewall, mapping it to a web server
inside the firewall, and performing transparent caching of the web servers'
static content in the process. The DNS address for the web server is the
proxy address outside the firewall.

There was a quetion here in this list about MS Proxy
server with one or two NIC cards. In that context it
was highlighted that with one NIC card "reverse
proxy" will not be possible.

But can someone explain as to what is reverse proxy ?
