Explanation

A reverse proxy sits in front of multiple backend applications on the same host and routes incoming requests from a single public IP and port to the correct internal service based on rules such as URL path, hostname, or headers. For example, requests to '/app1' can be routed to localhost:3001 and '/app2' to localhost:3002, even though all arrive on port 80 or 443. A load balancer distributes traffic across multiple instances of the same application, not different applications. DNS resolves domain names but cannot route a single IP:port to different local ports. A firewall controls access but does not perform application-level routing.
