So you're running a transient node. DON'T! An attacker can easily
figure out that you're running a transient node and infer that any
requests coming from your node were initiated by YOU.

A transient node could be made safe by turning it into a client
proxy - that is, by removing the routing table and routing to one of
a set of specifically trusted nodes, which is basically what you're
proposing. At this point, it seems to make a lot of sense to
separate the client proxy from the node....
