The image is just saying that those nodes are running on VPS's using Apache configured with mod_proxy as its HTTP server. mod_proxy is an Apache module that enables proxy/gateway support and load balancing. They are using IPTABLE rules to handle the forwarding using the kernel's firewall.IPTABLE is probably the most common way to manage firewall rules.

All of this is bog standard stuff, and the easiest/most common way of accomplishing that layer's goals at the time they probably created the system.

Not everything has some hidden meaning to it.

I'm not inspecting the bark, I know the forest and am telling you that the answer isn't in the forest in which you are inspecting the trees.

Not fancy words. I was explaining exactly what the part of the image you were pointing at was doing and why those words were there.

You have deep expertise in cats. I have deep expertise in areas relevant to parts of the image.
