We had/have that on informationfreeway for quite a while and people have
always been complaining, as depending on the proxy settings, you would
sometimes get old tiles which is not what you want to see after you
edited and rendered.
Second, there were always some of the proxies down, effectively leading
to 404s.
Third, some well meant offers had to be retracted quite soon, as they
were a bit overwhelmed by the resulting traffic, leading to constant
administration efforts in adding/removing proxies.

It was not as bad as it sounds, but nearly so.
