I attended a talk at Froscon 2007 where Guiseppe Maxxia shows a "global log
server" as a use case for his proxy. In my opinion, it's because exactly of
this reason you are describing that this will never work reliably and i
can't think of any useful "production" use case where someone has a real
need for that.
