I would like to see some backup for this rather bold assertion.

If you were referring to my original post, then no I was _not_ talking
about a single global proxy to solve this! I was talking about local proxies
used to filter requests (and act as a local cache, of course) by talking
to a URC server. I do not see how that would not scale. The URC servers would
of course be replicated, and communicate SAPs using peer networking - rather
like the Harvest system.
