Chaining/redirecting http responses?

[sqlman]

My web service need to be able to be able to obtain a response from a
intranet web service and redirect that response to a remote external
client, i.e., act as a middle man between the remote client and
otherwise inaccessible internal web service.

What would be at appropriate way to implement such a chain?

Thanks!

I think you want to google for "web service proxy", e.g. the section
"Proxy-based approach" in
