Very good question. I would also like to know whether anyone has been successful in getting this to work.
It doesn't look promising: Searching the list history, I see several other (unanswered) questions about this, so clearly there's interest, but I haven't been able to find evidence of anyone succeeding with this. I know we also don't have any tests for this, which concerns me. In addition, searching the code, I see a parameter called "surrogate-role" which is not mentioned at all in the (minimal) documentation about this. It seems that at a minimum, the documentation needs to be updated so it doesn't leave people hanging on this, and we need to get an issue in the tracker about the need for (a working, tested implementation of) this feature. But before making drastic edits to the documentation on this, I'd also like to know: Has anyone out there been successful in using this feature (and how)?
