be aware that this form of reverse proxy can fail open extremely easily and there is no way to detect it. I provided a gateway for spammers for a few days because of this tool. As a result, I now use pound which failsafe. save yourself some heartache and a significant amount of work: http://www.apsis.ch/pound/
