Wes, Thanks for these questions about this 'ghost' of the MySQL world, it seems more a legend than a real thing! I am sorry I do not have the answers but I would love to hear some.
All I can say is that MySQL Proxy is currently (still) in Alpha http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-proxy/ https://launchpad.net/mysql-proxy so it is unlikely to be used in production. Such a shame that it was not developed further, this and other features (like online backups) really miss in MySQL, according to me.
