We've been talking about regular old web servers. Let's start talking about something a little more interesting: Reverse Proxies.

Reverse Proxies are basically load balancers (don't @ me about that definition, look it up yourself).

A few popular ones written in Golang are Traefik and Caddy (remember I mentioned those back in the first article?).

Let's see if we can implement some fraction of their functionality ourselves. Onward!
