Hi pete

As prateek pointed out the term "reverse proxy" is much of a networking term.

Refer to the following wikipedia for more interesting info

Proxies in XI are termed as ABAP and Java proxies

They are termed as "Proxies" bcoz they act as interfaces between 2 applications. They r not related to "Reverse Proxy". Just the name game
