Are you talking about Jetty as a proxy for user agents accessing other
websites, or proxy as in the Apache mod_proxy sense where you can use
Apache to transparently pass requests on to another web server?

The latter functionality is something I'd love to have.. I'd like to use
a JAAS LoginModule to authenticate access to a webapp on another
(non-Java) server. Is this possible, or would it require an extra chunk
of code to be written for Jetty?
