proxy server
     
         a process providing a cache of
        items available on other servers which are presumably slower
        or more expensive to access.
     
        this term is used particularly for a world-wide web server
        which accepts urls with a special prefix.  when it receives
        a request for such a url, it strips off the prefix and looks
        for the resulting url in its local cache.  if found, it
        returns the document immediately, otherwise it fetches it from
        the remote server, saves a copy in the cache and returns it to
        the requester.  the cache will usually have an expiry
        algorithm which flushes documents according to their age,
        size, and access history.
     
        compare proxy gateway.
