Nice first draft... however, I can't comment on the crossbow stuff as I am not a domain expert. :) If this is going to be a wikipedia article, you may want to touch on some of the following topics.: 1) reverse proxys as in virtual servers on a load balancer. 2) vmware has the ability to configure "virtual network segments", virtual routers and virtual switches. (Virtual appliances). Basically you can build an elaborate virtual network on a single server. 3) NAT, and SNAT 4) WAN emulation 5) Network proxies of any type particularly PEPs. 6) MPLS/LAN Emulation/MPOA/Ethernet over Frame Relay/Sonet 7) Network Tunneling 8) VPN (Virtual Private Network) I'm also cc'ing networking-discuss to get you more eyeballs. (I hope you don't mind.)
