proxy.google.com

May be a dumb question for a lot of you, but what is proxy.google.com doing. Is this when somebody is using the cached link in their search results? Or is Google maintaining some real proxy like for instance AOL?

Thank, xcomm

Ok - seems to be there WAP proxy.

216.239.39.5 - - [26/Aug/2004:00:56:24 +0200] "GET /f/foobar.html HTTP/1.0" 200 11280 "-" "SIE-C60/12 UP.Browser/6.1.0.5.c.6 (GUI) MMP/1.0 (Google WAP Proxy/1.0)"
