In a scenario where you have an IPBrick configured as a security server and you have an internal web server it is possible to configure IPBrick to act as a reverse proxy.
The reverse proxy is used in front of the Webserver and has the main objective of redirecting all connections addressed to various Webservers to be routed through the proxy server. A reverse proxy has the function of dispatching incoming network traffic to various servers and is totally transparent to the user (he will not know that a proxy is being used).
