### Search before reporting - [x] I searched in the [issues](https://github.com/apache/pulsar/issues) and found nothing similar. ### Motivation In some deployment scenarios, it's useful for one proxy to connect through another proxy before reaching the broker. The first proxy may not necessarily be a standard Pulsar Proxy, but as long as it follows the Pulsar protocol rules, the downstream proxy should be able to communicate with it seamlessly. Supporting this “proxy-to-proxy” connection improves flexibility for complex network topologies, including multi-region deployments, edge-to-central routing, or hierarchical proxy layers. It ensures that authentication, routing, and protocol rules continue to work correctly, even when traffic passes through multiple proxies before reaching the broker. ### Solution _No response_ ### Alternatives _No response_ ### Anything else? _No response_ ### Are you willing to submit a PR? - [ ] I'm willing to submit a PR! -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
