Re: Reverse proxy ??

["Walter Boyd" <Wboyd () certifiednets com>]

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 ?
