Gateway

Fleeting

A “gateway” (a.k.a. “reverse proxy”) is an intermediary that acts as an origin server for the outbound connection but translates received requests and forwards them inbound to another server or servers. Gateways are often used to encapsulate legacy or untrusted information services, to improve server performance through “accelerator” caching, and to enable partitioning or load balancing of HTTP services across multiple machines
