  If everything is going well, proxy information won't change that
often.

  If you want to have multiple fail-over realms, then the proxy
information changes on every proxied request.  The server has to keep
track of which realms are live, which aren't, and which was the last
realm it used (for round-robin).

  <shrug>  That's not a serious issue, in my opinion.
