I'm not sure I believe it would be a good idea: basically you're putting
your server into the network DMZ, but your server's the data you want
best guarded, not least! But just 'cause I don't think it's a useful
idea does not mean some crazy IT manager won't do it. Indeed, simply
because it's called a "Proxy" might make this more likely, as that word
is also widely used for "the computer in the DMZ that the clients talk
to in order to get to the Internet."

Actually, that probably won't be all that uncommon, if you think of a
company with multiple data centers, instead of "inside/outside". I can
imagine a network where your west-coast and east-coast data centers can
talk to each other, but your west-coast office can only talk to the
west-coast data center, and the east-coast office can only talk to the
east-coast data center.
