Excellent idea! I like it.
Of course, it's another piece of a distributed solution that you need
to keep running. It would make for an interesting third-party
service. (On the surface, letting a third party run this for you
seems hazardous, but as always your stuff is exposed on the way
to the forwarder whatever you do....
A forwarded like this as a pre-packaged EC2 VM, perhaps?
