What is reverse proxy?
Suppose you have one VPS SERVER, One IP and some domains. You have different docker / lxc containers . Each container contains some website.
Naturally, each container will have its own internal IP. You don't want to purchase an IP for each domain. Instead, you want to use your public IP as shared ip between domains. Also, only one port 80 is available at host so all containers will need to listen it.
Reverse proxy is resolve a request URL to another server machine (or same server with different port) as a remote location. It get the content from the remote location and then return back to the client who request the URL. The content or the header information can be modified before returning to the client, and the raw content may be stored as cache files or inside a database. A Reverse proxy can be a building block for other applications, such as
-Acting as a load balancing server
-Acting as a fail-over standby server
-Cope with a web server
acting as a cache server
acting as a search engine friendly front end
acting as a content filter
-Portal Front end which served by different type of web-services from different server.
