asterisk users - Dec 2009 - Can Asterik act as a SIP Proxy

Hi,
I am new to Asterisk.
Can you pl clarify me the following basic questions I have:
1. Can I use Asterisk as  a SIP Proxy. ( I want it to act as proxy not a B2b/GW)
2. If so, will it act as stateless (or) stateful
3. I did see the website, I could not find the info:
     is there a  documentation which can be a starting point f me to understand 
how it can be made to use as  Proxy serve.and how to use Astrisk.

If this is not the forum , pl advice me to the correct forum.

TIA,
Gayatri

No. Asterisk is a back-to-back user agent (B2BUA).
