Proxy Server
A proxy server resides between a Web client, such as a web
browser, and a real Web server and acts as an intermediary
between them. When some people browse a web site, their
browser is not actually connecting to the web server. The
request from their browser goes to a proxy server, and the
proxy server makes the request to the web server. A proxy
server can improve performance for groups of users because
it cache the results of all requests for a certain amount of
time. If a user requests a web page that it already loaded for
another user, it reloads the page instead of forwarding the
request to the Web server, which can be a time-consuming
operation.
