Unless its an API from one of the 'big players' then its unlikly that the proxy would become a performance bottleneck. ie the proxy will likely out perform the API itself.
Or do you mean a problem as a SPOF (single point of failure) - if worried about that then could get two proxies :) And hope the API provider allows you to specify multiple IPs. (its unlikly you would get a redunant system - including from Google - using a single outgoing IP anyway) On 17 December 2010 22:18, Baz <[email protected]> wrote: > If you route every request through a proxy, you are giving up all the > scalability benefits? > > On Fri, Dec 17, 2010 at 12:17 PM, A.
