A:
Yes, iChain is a reverse proxy. It will have at least two IP addresses, a public one and a private one. All of your web sites, including NPS, will resolve to the public address of iChain.

The HTTP traffic will then be proxied, across the private IP address, to the target Web server(s). The target Web servers don't even have to have DNS names that are resolvable on the Internet, iChain can take care of that for you.
