Thats fine, but please keep the term reverse-proxy in parallel for the reasons stated by others here. It may be a silly and incorrect term, but in contrast to gateway in this context it is widely used and (at least many :-)) people do know
what it means.

Actually, very few people know what it means, which is why we end up
with so many poorly designed extensions to mod_proxy that really
should be in a separate module called mod_gateway.

So in that light we should probably start educating the developers first instead of the users ;-)

In any case, +1 to extending the docs for now rather than simply substituting (as proposed by Bill "reverse-proxy (e.g. gateway server)").

Cheers,
Erik
