I often agree with you in general (despite disagreeing on particular details <wink>). However you really ought to quit making unfounded generalizations about Nginx. It is, in fact, purpose-built to be a proxy. It's also far better than Pound (which I also used before switching to Nginx) as a proxy. It's true it doesn't (currently) have very sophisticated load-balancing (round-robin only, unless you use a 3rd party module), but it's almost stupidly simple to configure and easily outperforms Pound, especially under load.
