What would folks say to renaming all occurances of "reverse proxy"

At the minimum, I plan to notate "reverse-proxy (e.g. gateway
server)"
liberally throughout the explanation pages of the module and guides.
Thats fine, but please keep the term reverse-proxy in parallel for
the reasons
stated by others here. It may be a silly and incorrect term, but in
contrast to
gateway in this context it is widely used and (at least many :-))
people do know
what it means.
Actually, very few people know what it means, which is why we end up
with so many poorly designed extensions to mod_proxy that really
should be in a separate module called mod_gateway. They have nothing
to do with each other aside from the poor choice Netscape made in
marketing their HTTP gateway product as a "reverse proxy".
