Proxy Web Servers and Authentication > Proxies for Remote Resource Access

Is this a "reverse proxy"?

No. The term "Reverse Proxy" is used to describe the functions of a proxy server that sits between the Internet and the origin server.

• Mimics the functions of the origin server to such an extent that clients don't know they are not talking to the origin server.
• Used to distribute requests, provide a fail-safe service, or protect internal servers.
