I'm sorry that i was not as clear as i could have been.
I believe that you want to add a proxy to speed up SVN requests, or
support more users. I especially get this from your sentense:
"A typical use case would be to set up the proxy server on a gateway
between a lan and the internet, to forward client operations to many
different real servers on the lan. In other words, a classic proxy
setup."
I believe that your text misses some text about why a normal regular
HTTP proxy can not do what you want to achive, or how your solution
is better.
Now, the reason that i wrote you directly and not to the list is because
i only just subscribed the other day, so who am i to give judgement,
however, i still believe that at least writting something in your
text about
regular HTTP proxies, would benefit your text.
