Im working with an implementation of a Multi homed proxy - uses 2
interfaces, I presume one external and one internal. 
On receiving a request on one interface, it forwards it to itself on the
destination interface, eventually adding itself twice in the
Record-Route header (with r2 parameter) before forwarding the request.
Response is processed similarly.
 
Why is such a behaviour required? If this is to seperate the netowrk
topology (external, internal) the same can be achieved by an IP gateway.

I am sure there is only one instance of the Proxy running on the host.
 
This behaviour is not affecting our functionality. But I need to
understand the reason behind it.
 
Any pointers appreciated.
 
Thanks.
