That's an interesting configuration. For a while Ive been considering
a solution based on longer-than-usual chains of http proxies, and a
"do one thing well" principal. In my case:

Apache (for rewriting and SSL)
  -> Squid accelerator
       -> A custom load-balancing redirector
            -> Multiple Zopes

Have you had any significant latency, or other problems?
