Web Server Reverse Proxy Bug

iis security:

Hi - i recently used the vulnerability assessment service for our web server
& the following was reported by the system "The remote Web server seems to
allow any anonymous user to use it as a reverse proxy. This may expose
internal
services to potential mapping and, henceforth, compromise."

I am not sure i understand this issue & i was wondering if someone can
explain to me or point me in the right direction.

How do i get rid of this bug? Please help.

Windows 2000 , IIS 5.0 .

No idea, what Vunerability assessment service is that. didn't it tell you
how to solve it and the concept behind the reporting item?
