Get your IT people to lookup "reverse proxy" and "server proxy" in the
on-line docs on Proxy Server. However to make this work you normally need
the MS Winsock Proxy Client software loaded on the server that you want to
sit behind the proxy. Obviously this won't work on a Linux box, but there
are 3rd party utilities that will do this for a Linux box and follow the MS
protocol to make it work. This is basically the same procedure that you
have to follow to get MS Exchange Server for example to be run behind MS
Proxy but accessible from outside the Proxy.
