for my previous gig i was just about ready to write one
of these puppies myself. my specific goal was to build
an intelligent load balancer which would fan the initial
request out to the best suited next tier server and simply
pass the unmodified results with the exception of a
session id swap back to the client.
i'm sure there is more work that could be done in this
layer as well in addition to load balancing and proxy
services.
i'd say go for it.
