Proxies and balancers

A proxy maps some URL on a virtual server to another webserver. This means that requests for any page under that URL path will be forwarded to the other site, which could be a separate machine or another webserver process on the same system (such as Tomcat for Java or Mongrel for Ruby on Rails).

• create-proxy - Adds a per-directory proxy to some domain
