Have you observed this as a problem in the real world, or is this just  
a hypothetical scenario?

What sort of things are you doing in the proxy? And what are the time  
bounds on that work? Which clients have you observed timing out? And  
what are those timeout values?

I get the feeling that you're inventing needless complexity for an  
undemonstrated requirement.
