You have written, you have used an ISA Server before: The ISA Server has nice featuers as application level gateway, but as a firewall between the internet and a trusted lan is he a very bad choise. He can resist in the DMZ or as second gateway behind a real firewall. So believe me, that a reverse proxy is a bad idea on a firewall, and i don't believe that the endian team will implement this. It is not a design of the endian firewall, it is a generally design of firewalls and security implementations.
