Reverse Proxy on DMZ

[Joel Snider <joel_snider () yahoo com>]

I am sure that this has been discussed here before, but was unable to
find any references in the archives.  What are the pros and cons of
using a proxy (caching) server on a DMZ segment to allow access to an
internal web server?  The DMZ is hanging off a segment on a firewall.
The server would be used to provide extranet applications. Any
comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...
