  > - reverse proxy to backend webserver Using a reverse proxy allows you to cache static content, decreasing load. I'm not talking about load balancers. These days you need them when your website pulls _a lot_ of requests (1000/s) Your reverse proxy will also stop unwanted requests and indeed will have a firewall incorperated. > - run checks on each request on the reverse proxy post => clamav post => sqlinjection get => blacklisted address? any => iptables (let any connection go through your firewall. It's a check) don't terminate SSL on reverse proxy though. It's a bad idea, unless you are a bad person and like to read your visitors data they think is secure. There are plenty of other ways of using security on a reverse proxy. Have a look around on google.
