rendering a 3rd party website through webserver

I'm almost 100% sure this is not possible, but just thought I'd ask.

Is it possible to render a 3rd party web page through server? I'm not talking about an iframe here.

For example: www.aaaa.com would have content from www.bbbb.com. The server at aaaa.com would be connecting to bbbb.com and displaying the page as if were coming from its own server.

This is for an intranet project that I've somehow been looped into. The intranet site is written in classic ASP. I keep telling people this is not possible but they don't seem to want to listen.
 
Kind of confused....

Do you already have content at bbbb.com? You just want people to be able to visit aaaa.com and have all the content from bbbb.com show up, but still use aaaa.com as it's domain?

That's a simple reverse proxy. Any of the Linux web servers can do that. For a specialized tool you can use haproxy, but both Apache and nginx can do reverse proxies. I think nginx supports it out of the box and apache you need to install mod_proxy

It's very useful for doing SSL load balancing. You can have several front ends doing all the SSL and then proxy to application servers on a private network.
 
Yup, you can definitely use nginx for this with just a few lines in the conf file. I've set it proxy and handle SSL before.
