Hi zack,

1. A reverse proxy enables one to provide
content from another web server transparently, also
it can be made to improve performance by caching.

2. It enables a controlled access from the Web at 
large to servers behind a firewall or a DMZ.

3. It is an additional layer of defense and therefore protects the webservers 
further up the chain.

3. Securing a web proxy is very similiar to securing a web server or any other 
proxy, which 
depends upon logisitics of your network.

4. Apache can be used as a reverse proxy, a 
few others are by Netegrity,Fastream etc.
I would personally recommend apache with 
mod_proxy.
