	Apache reverse proxy

From Apache's website .....:
A reverse proxy, by contrast, appears to the client just like an ordinary web 
server. No special configuration on the client is necessary. The client makes 
ordinary requests for content in the name-space of the reverse proxy. The 
reverse proxy then decides where to send those requests, and returns the 
content as if it was itself the origin.

A typical usage of a reverse proxy is to provide Internet users access to a 
server that is behind a firewall. Reverse proxies can also be used to balance 
load among several back-end servers, or to provide caching for a slower 
back-end server. In addition, reverse proxies can be used simply to bring 
several servers into the same URL space.

A reverse proxy is activated using the ProxyPass directive or the [P] flag to 
the RewriteRule directive. It is not necessary to turn ProxyRequests on in 
order to configure a reverse proxy.
