<title>What is a proxy server?</title>
<para>A proxy server is a server (a computer system or an application)
that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources
from other servers. A client connects to the proxy server, requesting some
service, such as a file, connection, web page, or other resource available
from a different server and the proxy server evaluates the request as a
way to simplify and control its complexity. (From Wikipedia)</para>
