+which can be used as a regular HTTP server. The running typically on
+port 80 to serve hypertext and other documents, and also as a proxy --
+a server on a firewall machine -- that provides access for people
+inside a firewall to the outside world. When running as proxy httpd
+may be configured to do caching of documents resulting in faster
+response times.
