+### Dynamic Forward Proxy
+
+Envoy Gateway can be configured as a dynamic forward proxy using the [Backend][] API by setting its type to `DynamicResolver`.
+This allows Envoy Gateway to act as an HTTP proxy without needing prior knowledge of destination hostnames or IP addresses,
+while still maintaining its advanced routing and traffic management capabilities.
+
+Under the hood, Envoy Gateway uses the Envoy [Dynamic Forward Proxy](https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/intro/arch_overview/http/http_proxy)
+to implement this feature.
+
+In the following example, we will create a `HTTPRoute` that references a `Backend` resource of type `DynamicResolver`.
+This setup allows Envoy Gateway to dynamically resolve the hostname in the request and forward the traffic to the original
+destination of the request.
+
+Note: the TLS configuration in the following example is optional. It's only required if you want to use TLS to connect
+to the backend service. The example uses the system well-known CA certificate to validate the backend service's certificate.
+You can also use a custom CA certificate by specifying the `caCertificate` field in the `tls` section.
