These resources are then returned to the client as though it originated from the reverse proxy itself." For example you can configure a reverse proxy such that when people go to www.my_personal_domain.com the proxy will show them results from google.com (assuming that you own my_personal_domain.com) The program is written in Java and is deployed as a standard WAR file to any servlet container, e.g. Tomcat.
